When I recently re-wired my wife's bass pedalboard, I used cable ties to hold her volume pedal down. I did have to drill holes through the board, so that might not be the best option for you. I've also heard of people using bike chain link pieces to secure pedals, but this also requires screwing things into the board.

without screwing things into the board, and easy to remove... and not velcro , don't really know
the first thing i thought of was maybe using a glass board with a kind of suction cup attachment on the back of the pedal...
but hitting pedals..glass board ..don't really mix =)

Am I the only person who actually LIKES velcro? I think it works great. But only the 3M industrial stuff.

Yeh, that's what I trying to avoid! I don't mind screwing a chain of some type into the board to fasten pedal to a board ... anyone have any pics of a board with "fasteners" of some type?

Carl, I've been using velcro on my board but in a different way. I actually use velcro in long thin strips and then wrap it over the pedal in 2 spots and then under my board (pedaltrain). They hold pretty well and I can easily undo the velcro if I need to move anything.

Dual lock? I love it but it does take a flathead screwdriver to remove the pedal. Though it does pop right off.

I just drill and tap two of the opposing corners on every pedal I own with a #6-32.
Most pedal have some variation of a #6 sheet metal screw, so it's not intrusive, just improving the pedal by using a machine thread over a sheet metal screw.

Called Nobels P Mount.
Alternatively you can use the single things from a bicycle chain (if you know what I mean)

I used zip ties on my latest pedalboard. They work pretty well but it looks really ugly.
