Higgie Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've got a Line 6 Echo Park that I would like to put on my PT-2, but sticking velcro to the rubber base never works, the velcro just comes off the pedal and stays stuck to the board. I peeled the rubber back off and its got some dodgy uneven surface that wont take velcro by itself either. To anyone who has one of the small single Line 6 pedals....How did you do it?! I'm at my wits end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the 2cm wide strips of stick on velcro from Wilkinson to be really good. Don't absolutely cover the bottom of the pedal with velcro either else it grips too well and will obviously tear off, you only need a couple of small bits to hold the pedal in place.

xgsjx Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 +1 on the meths. Good hobby shops sell mega heavy duty Velcro that has the stickyest glue ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Sorry for the late reply. Thanks very much for your advice, will give it a shot today. Just out of interest would white spirit work? I've got some here, otherwise its a trip out to the shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the question, I instantly thought of looking for a Nail Gun picture! Ok, my suggestion - I've never used velcro. Instead I am the king of cable ties! - my DIY pedal board in the Build Diaries section is a good example! Rock solid and nothing can fall off, EVER! lol - Hell - I even get a colour match for the pedals used! ha ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 It crossed my mind, however driving a nail through the circuit board of a pedal didn't seem too appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
