I most likely will go with velcro but if I can find some carpet at a good price and it seems like it will hold, I'll check that out.

I couldn't find any at home depot, a friend told me that craft stores is the place to look... that some types of felt work really well. Didn't bother to go look, I just really wanted the look of actual black velcro.

Is carpet what you used then?

Edit: forgive me if you have the answer earlier, I didn't really look haha.

No, I bought a 25 feet by 1" roll of industrial strength velcro brand hook and loop velcro. I used the loop velcro to cover my board (worked perfectly!) and then I used a bunch of the hook velcro to create some little fasteners to keep power and patch cables neat on the board.

It was.. $26 I think for the roll. Kind of expensive I suppose, but looks more professional and is stronger than I think using carpet would have been.

Gnarly. It is kind of crazy how much velcro is, but the one time you almost drop your pedal board and catch it while it's hanging sideways, it's allll worth it! (I speak from experience on that one haha).

Velcro can be crazy expensive. I was very happy when my Pedaltrain 2 came with velcro.

haha my new case came with a bit of velcro, but I've read in pretty much every review that it is completely worthless, so I'm not even gonna try to use it.

I was going to send you a message about this, but I figured since we're on the topic I'll ask you here. Do you remember what velcro you use on your pedals? The velcro that comes with the PT2 is starting to fail on me. The adhesive just isn't that great. It seems like the adhesive on the two pedals I have that were previously yours is much more solid.

It is currently dark at the moment in the room and my roommate is sleeping so I will get the exact brand tomorrow for you, but at the moment I know it is just the higher grade stuff that they sold at wal-mart. It cost a bit more than the lower stuff but it's been worth it. Tomorrow morning I'll for sure let you know.

Speaking of, how are those mods going? I hope the ugly paint job isn't getting in your way .

It's sitting there. It's been a pretty crazy last couple of weeks. I'm hoping to at least depopulate the board and drill the case sometime this week.

No worries dude. The J&H is doing that job plenty fine for the time being.

There is some brand of velcro that is super cheap to order online that I've heard a TON of people swear by... I think it's like $20 for 40 feet of super industrial strength... I'll see if I can find it.

Here's a few pics.


Everything fit in this case about as well as I could have possibly hoped for. Just barely pressing into the foam on top, 1 inch on one side, half an inch front to back. I didn't even have to secure it for it to be snug

[jamforchrist123]

I just checked, it's "Velcro" brand and it's "industrial strength." I just got it from Walmart.


And David 'tis lookin' good!

That's what I'm using as well. It is just right, IMO.

And Steve, I just did a quick search and I can't find that brand of velcro I was thinking of..

*edit* As soon as I finished this message, I remembered where it is. It's 10 ft. long and 4" wide. $20. For the loop side. There is hook velcro for sale on the site as well.
