Dual lock vs velcro pedalboard.

Dual lock is also available in 3 or 4 different strengths which most people don t know. Attaching structured surfaces using only black dual lock is a good way to attach equipment to the underside of a pedalboard frame. I use this heavy duty version of the dual lock product for attaching power supplies and other support devices to the underside of the pedal board. Dual lock is stronger but not readily available local home improvement or hardware stores anymore.

The black dual lock s adhesive is designed for coarse or structured surfaces making it a real lifesaver when dealing with cioks power supplies and their structured finishes. So a good friend of mine in the tape industry sees my board one day and says i know this stuff that would be perfect for what you re trying to do you should check it out so i did and i will never look back to velcro. No more messing around with velcro that won t hold o. I use 3m dual lock for a variety of purposes but my primary use is as pedalboard tape when making guitar pedalboards.

The heavy duty velcro works fine for most applications and is much easier to work with if you change pedals frequently. I unscrew the base plate on mooer pedals and flip it over.
