tauzero Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Hooks on the bottoms of pedals, loops on the board. I think that's the general way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, hooks on the board are inviting a world of lint. Lint, folks....a world of it. Edited February 21 by ahpook 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrixn1 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreadBin Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Hooks on the pedal means they also grip carpet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshy Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m firmly in the 3M Dual Lock camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Soft on the board, scratchy on the pedals, but I'm not sure why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonK Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) 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): https://www.daddario.com/xpnd-pedalboard/ 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!

pete.young Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Diego pedalboards have carpet so you need hooks on your pedals if you use one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkMohawk Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Dual lock all day every day. A little goes a long way, and a lot requires tools to take off, so yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
