gs_triumph Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hey guys, I'm sure EBS has the best backing on pedals in terms of them being used stand alone on the floor but they are a pain on pedal board. I bought most of my pedals used off here so most had Velcro already attached, and the foam already removed. However I have had a reshuffle and am left with a selection of pedals without Velcro that need attaching to my pedal train board. Any one got any tips for removing the foam off the back of EBS pedals in order to attach Velcro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Couldn't you just attach the velcro to the foam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gs_triumph Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 I tried that before, admittedly with generic hook & loop as opposed to branded velcro, and it just never really adheres very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It comes off in chunks, awful stuff. Had it on the 1st Billy Sheehan signature pedal, wasn't on the deluxe model. I just tore off as much as I could and then scraped the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gs_triumph Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 I bought some branded velcro with extra strong adhesive and attached it directly to the foam. It seems to be holding. Only time will tell. Like I said, if you use the pedals on the floor they are very stable and don't move at all on carpet or smooth flooring... But it is a pain when using them on a pedal board. Good to see they've switched to rubber feet on the newer pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Personally, if you are worried about such things, I'd get a thin piece of wood and cable tie it to the bottom of the pedal... and fix the velcro to the wood.... or you could screw the wood into the existing screw holes if you want to avoid cable ties.
