Can anyone recommend the best velcro to stick to the back of my pedals that DOESN'T come off their backs when I rearrange them? Also, what do you guys do for, say, wah pedals that have a back attached by rubber feet?

I just got an SKB PS-45 pedalboard, but the provided velcro sticks great to the velcro surface, but hardly at all to the backs of my pedals :(
 
I just use the regular velcro brand velcro. There is an industrial strength version. I find the regular stuff sticks to my pedals fine expect for my Danelectro fish and chips EQ.

If the pedal has rubber feat I remove them and put the velcro.

I have had more trouble with the carpet coming up on my pedal board then the velcro coming off my pedals. I have to totally reglue my pedal board, its from a pretty well respected pedal board maker too. :no:
 
3M Dual Lock is good. The best is when you use those figure-eight style washers (think of a bike chain) and physically screw them down to the pedalboard.

I'm thinking I might just pull the screws out of the rubber feet for my Fulltone pedals and just screw the backplate down.

The biggest problem is a Visual Sound H20 with a completely rubber bottom that seems impervious to the adhesive on my velcro.

For my pedals with rubber feet, I just take them off and put them aside in my tool box. Screw the plate down and apply velcro.

For Boss pedals and other pedals that have rubber bottoms, I pull the whole rubber bottom off. I'm not exactly worried about the resale volume of Boss pedals.

Industrial strength velcro, and clean and dry the bottoms of the pedals well. If the velcro still comes off, then I'll epoxy or Gorilla Glue them shits down.

I'm thinking I might try some super-glue at this point... I'm not terribly concerned about resale either, I love these pedals :D
