Empty Pedal Boxes

[HellraiserJohnny]

Absolutely! The funny thing is . . . I so rarely use pedals, I have no idea other than to have something to ship them in when I sell them

That's I quandary I've not encountered, but definitely needs some careful consideration.

If I got a pedal with fuzzy side on the pedal, I would be very concerned and likely think about what other anti-social degeneracy the previous owner was involved in.

I mean, if they're operating in a mindset responsible for that, what else were they up to? Treason, private islands, bodies in a crawl space? Did they involve this fuzz velcro pedal in pedal orgies with dirty Mike and the boys?

To say I'd be cautious is an understatement. Only in cases where I saved a large amount of money on the used pedal would I consider keeping the pedal, talking like $20 saving type deal.

Apologies to any normal guitar playing human that does hook side on the board. My concerns are likely too monolithic, but I'm just protective of my totally rational value system.

I hope it goes without saying, but just in case anyone reads that and takes it seriously, it was satire and me trying (poorly) to be funny.

That sounds too "republican" for the main forum. Tone it down a bit there, Velcrofuzzaphobe.

To the quandary of which side of Velcro…

Fuzzy side on the pedal makes the pedal better suited for being placed off the board either on the floor or desk surface without that god awful Velcro scratching sound going on underneath it… however,,, the hook side attracts everything and makes the board surface look like a back alley ghetto sidewalk full or trash and bad decisions.

People, move into the future and adopt duralock, it’s the way God intended pedals to be secured to a board.

Sorry man, you're right I should work to have tolerance towards the Velco-fluid community.

I shouldn't ostracize them, as if they were P&W players.

Enough of this velcro conversation.

I will try your non-binary fastening strips. It's just weird to me, since I grew up with two genders of Velcro.

The biggest bullshit for me was buying two D'Addario XPND boards that come with velcro pre-installed. Getting that shit off was such a big task. Ugh.

You guys keep this shit? Umpteen pedal boxes and misc boxes.

There are like 6 phaser boxes in here @BeZo

Hey - I have most of my empty pedal boxes in some random large box as well!

Yeah. I have a few.

I consider them a premium when I sell them to have the original box.

I also have this line of thinking when selling/buying.

That's the reason why I just go with the gendered Velcro. Most boards are already laid out with the fuzz.

Dual lock still works great on the fuzz.

I have been solely using dual-lock since building my board several years ago now. I also find it useful to have around in general now.

Just be sure you do not put too much on there/too strong or you will break the pedal/board trying to remove the thing, or will have to prise it up with something.


Lessoned learned there.
