Jeff-7 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Did you try outdoor carpeting? All else fails you could lay down a coat of the cheap Rhino Liner-esque stuff at Wally world and just use hook and loop velcro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 what to cover it with? Pedals man! But seriously, I just put heavy duty velcro on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanH Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You can also buy a roll each of hook and loop velcro that has a sticky backing. That way you can secure your pedals on to virtually any flat surface. I got my rolls from Maplins which is the UK equivalent of Radio Shack.

Tman5293 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Covered mine with the soft side of the velcro. Bought a 15 foot roll and had just enough to cover the top of my 3 foot by 1 foot pedal board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Why cover it ??? If the workmanship is good, just paint it black, and put lots of velcro strips where needed...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I covered mine in contact paper. The stuff will keep the wood protected & velcro sticks well to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Get a roll of hook velcro and a roll of loop velcro. Cover the board with the loop velcro so it doesn't get a bunch of crap stuck to it all the time. The super heavy duty industrial velcro is way too intense for regular use on pedalboards IMO. I find that stuff really annoying. The adhesive will rip the finish off some pedals if you try to remove it and if you need to change up your board, you pretty much need a crowbar to pry pedals off. I can hold my board upside down with the regular velcro. I don't need or want any more hold than that. But that's just me... /mini velcro rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoRider Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 I was hoping to cover it with somekind of carpet so i could attach the hook part of the velcro to my pedals so i could position the pedal wherever is needed on the board.. But i dont know what or were to find this.. I have seen this on some of the old crate bass amp cabinets... I dont know what is is called or what it is... Kind of like the same stuff that is on tennis balls.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixr1984 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I went to JoAnn fabrics and bought a couple yards of black felt for $3-4 and just glued that down. Velcro sticks to it pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
