How can I attach my Pedal Power to my Pedaltrain Pro?

Yup. And by easier, I mean lean-into-in-and-give-it-all-you-got-ya-wuss type easier. Versus using the same size - once you interlock those, you better have a crowbar and some power tools handy if you wanna pry them apart.
:mrgreen: Sounds like what I need, just hate it when random people try to steal my pedals when I'm playing! LOL.
More curiosity on your usage of the tape, I've only seen these sold in like 0.5" wide strips. Did you line your whole pedalboard with it, or you planned where each pedal sits and covered only that area? IIRC the PT2 I'm using has 4 "rungs", that's about 3' by 2", that's pretty costly to cover fully with Dual Lock.

yeah, those pesky stage-dwelling, pedal-stealing ferrets - tricky buggers!No no, I use regular velcro for the pedals and the PT-2's velcro carpet in that regard. The ferrets sometimes manage to sneak one past when I'm not looking.
The Dual Lock was only to secure the PP2+ UNDER the pedalboard, against the frame and in that space specially set out for it.
I cannot imagine someone using Dual Lock on ALL their pedals.
I would imagine knobs, covers, paint getting ripped off....

this guy did, and he introduced me to 3M Dual Lock..

Latest version of my small board...
But those pesky stage-dwelling, pedal-stealing ferrets!!! :mrgreen:
I'm just thinking about the horror situation where I drop the pedal case and all the pedals go haywire and get damaged in the process. Besides, I hear if you twist the pedal slightly, it helps in getting it off. So it's not as super-glue-like as it sounds.

actually, its only super glue like ONLY if u stick it on a furry side of velcro. thats not what the Dual Lock was designed for.
see what happened when i accidently stuck a piece of 3M dual lock on a furry side of the velcro
other than that, yeah, pulling the pedal up from one side will dislodge the pedal fairly easy, whereas removing a pedal by lifting it up vertically is impossible. thats why u can lift the whole pedalboard just by grabbing on to one pedal.
