velcroed pedals keep sliding

[shyamalan]

hello , my pedals seem to slide with the help of gravity when i store the case sideways. Is this a problem with the velcro?

Ya, my guess would be that the velcro's just not strong enough. Get some better quality stuff like the Godlyke Power Grip or 3M Dual Lock

either that the furry side of your velcro is starting to thin after usage, or you're not putting enough velcro on your pedal!

Protip: don't paste one large piece of velcro across the entire pedal. Placing 2 small strips is more effective.

Also, when attaching the pedal to the board, press firmly, then twist the pedal left and right slightly (but don't overdo it) to get a snug grip.

Even normal velcro, not "industrial strength" or branded ones, should hold well enough.

jcustom: I pasted freshly bought pieces from the shop.

carboxymoron: Vertical or horizontal?

to sidetrack abit. are there hardcases for the pedaltrain nano?

 

[carboxymoron]

I usually paste horizontal, due to my pedaltrain velcro also being horizontal.

No, PT Nano (or Mini) do not have official hardcases. Would defeat the purpose of such a small board.

Maybe gotta try different brand of velcro then. Could be that the furry side is too weak. I'm using velcro bought from ArtFriend and I can literally hold my board upside down without anything moving...
