Thomann Pedal Board Tape

The Thomann Pedal board tape is a really strong adhesive strip - like, seriously strong. I would say that it's so strong it seems to negate the point of having a removable tape in the first place.

I have secured five pedals onto my board (with typically one pair of velcro strips per pedal) and have enough left for another three or four, so there's definitely enough in there for the average joe.

However, the main issue comes with application of the tape: once you remove the backing material (very easy) then the sticky side of the tape is revealed and you can attach it to your pedal or your pedalboard: it's very strong, but as you'll come to see - possibly not enough.

The fabric of the velcro is double-action: there's no male/female sides, and it all connects to everything else. You must press quite firmly to engage the gripping claws and you can feel it latch together with a very reassuring depression.

Once latched in the pedals are VERY securely fastened - so removing them once they're in place isn't very easy, especially if you're trying to juggle barrel-connectors or patch leads at the same time.

I've found also that the velcro fastening is MORE sturdy than the adhesive glue on the backing, so more than once I've attempted to remove a pedal only for the tape to come off of the back of the pedal itself (one time, it even pulled the rubber footing off a behringer pedal I had!)

I would say that this is a good product to keep everything in place, I was able to chuck my pedalboard around, carry it upside down with one hand to, and from my car without even a slight movement of any of the pedals.

Just don't thing you're going to be constantly rearranging them!

I used this to attach pedals to a homemade pedal board.

As an alternate to velcro, it's a nice idea, but it grips to itself far too strongly, making it difficult to remove pedals. If you're using C or Z connectors between your pedals, you might actually break the pedal or the connector, as the grip is crazy strong. Works great if you're using patch cables, though.

The glue on the tape is very, very strong. In fact, it's stronger than the MDF I glued it to. As I mentioned, the tape grips to itself like crazy. This grip is much stronger than the MDF on my pedal board, so any time I've tried to take a pedal off the board, I've actually torn off the MDF the tape is stuck to. Using MDF was my own fault.

If you've a metal or laminated pedal board and you're using patch cables (as opposed to inflexible Z or C connectors), this is probably exactly what you need.

If you regularily remove pedals from your board, maybe go for hook and loop tape.

This will hold the pedals in any condition. Shake it, bang it, no way they are moving.
Unfortunately I need to change some positions and found it really tricky getting the pedals off the board and in some cases the tape ripped off before the Velcro released.
finally I found a twisting action far better to keep the tape in place on both the board and pedal.
Also watch the stickers on the bottom of the pedals The two behringer pedals came off as the stickers are not really that sticky. NOT a fault of this product.

Overall really sticky but be careful when you pull the pedals off.
