Velcro on a board....

[Mincer]

Usually it isn't the hook or the loop side that fails. It is the glue that affixes them to the pedals and board. It can't take the Florida humidity and heat, and leaves a mess behind.

It's good to learn that Dual Lock uses a better adhesive. Didn't know that.

Yeah. much better.

Loop on the board, hook on the pedal. Mostly because I have bought 90% of the pedals used and they’ve been hook side on the pedals.

Neither.

Get a pedalboard like this:

or:

...and stop whoring up all those beautiful pedals with velcro.

I believe the soft side usually goes on the board and the hook side on the pedals.
Don't think there's any real purpose to that, but it seems to be sort of an informal standard.

It's because if you put the hook side on the board the board picks up an astounding amount of fluff and crap. At least with the hooks on the bottom of the pedals you don't have to see the collected stuff. :P

The vac works much better on the soft stuff, so anytime you redo the board or just remove the cables it's easy to do a quick clean.

The Temple Audio system of mounting plates works well, but can get expensive.

See - I'm subject to use the pedals all over the place. So I like soft on the pedal.

My board generally down't pick up stuff because dogs and cats don't sleep on my board!

Optionally, you can run a vacuum every once and again...

I think most of the hair, dirt and lint comes from the venues not the home or studio -god knows if they ever vacuum those places

[dave74]

Nonsense! There is no reason why a concert venue or rock and roll bar would not be thoroughly vacuumed after closing every night. I simply will not hear such allegations.

That's why they call it the whiskey a toe goo!

Hook side on pedal

When using pedals off board
A bath mat will keep everything in place

Persian rugs are where the tone is

They really pull the tone together.

Also, when a pedal is not on the Temple Audio board, it's not going to sit flat anywhere else because it has that mounting plate on it, right?

Yup...you'd have to take the plate off. It isnt too hard to do that, but you have an extra step of getting the adhesive off, too. But in the Temple ecosystem, it works well.

Vomit does not vacuum so well, tho a mop does more appeal to its subtler matter formation.
Vacuums are for the front of house, or the restaurant section of the establishment.

Maybe we should use magnets

Or some sort of snap

Maybe a blister pack system

Just spitballin
