Hook and loop

[SamIAm]

Which do you have where?

Hooks on the bottoms of pedals, loops on the board. I think that's the general way.

Actually I lied. I go commando but all the pedals I buy have the scratchy stuff on them so if I was going to buy a pedal board it would have carpet.

Yes, hooks on the board are inviting a world of lint.

 

Lint, folks....a world of it.

Consider 3M Dual Lock low profile.  It's more expensive but you don't need much of it at all (1cm² at each corner of a pedal is more than enough), and it holds the pedal considerably more firmly than hook & loop.

Hooks on the pedal means they also grip carpet

I put hook on the board first pedalboard I a made.  I regret this decision, as it traps all the crap/dust/general debris.  This is probably why everyone else in the world puts loop on the board.

Hmm I have always put hook ( scratchy) on my boards and the softer stuff on pedals. Lint free and no issues here. Also I think people who sell me pedals the other way around are plain evil 🤣

The Joyo Ironman series of pedaks came with both a rubber and velcro hook/scratchy to stick on the bottom

Presumption would be the board woykd have the loop/smooth

I’m firmly in the 3M Dual Lock camp.

Soft on the board, scratchy on the pedals, but I'm not sure why.

I started putting loop (soft) on the pedals many years ago and now have all my pedals coated in them, which is fine if pedal boards come without pre-applied velcro as you can put it on whichever way you want, but now I have my eye on the D'Addario expandable boards and these come with pre-applied loop velcro (so the wrong way round for me):

At the moment it's stopping me ordering the board as I'm not sure how easy it will be to get off, and I don't want to destroy a new pedalboard before I've even had the chance to use it!

...strips of hooks, glued back to back, sandwiched between D'addario board & your pedals?   - just an idea...

Diego pedalboards have carpet so you need hooks on your pedals if you use one of them.

Dual lock all day every day. A little goes a long way, and a lot requires tools to take off, so yeah.

Velcro also do their own dual lock, called  Alfa-Lok
