@henkehakansson2004
@henkehakansson2004 Год назад
Being doing that for at least 15-20 years but mostly with wah pedals since there's ample room inside any of them, to flip the base. And it gives immediate resistance when toe-engaging them. Just a third of the Boss pedals works with this trick, the others you have to remove the rubber feet, and then it defeats its purpose, or defies... or whatever it's called

On the three BOSS pedals that I checked I never felt there was enough space - was too worried about damaging the circuit board when tightening the screws.
@JoaoMarcelo_1
@JoaoMarcelo_1 4 года назад
About fixing pedals to the board using velcro. I use the pedal's screws to fix a non-adhesive velcro to the bottom. Just two strips is enough. If you wigle the pedal to ensure that the velcro really grips, you will have a stable pedal. Never had a problem with this approach.

@MatthewPherigo 4 года назад
To anyone that doesn't know: "Deoxit" is a brand with several different formulas meant for different things. Make sure you have the right one for the job, or you can damage what you're trying to clean. Some repair shops have sworn off Deoxit entirely, because of damage done by putting the wrong kind of Deoxit on a rare part. Take care out there!

Very cool hacks, Dan! For "Tip 1 - TRS Battery Check", I stumbled into just half inserting a regular 1/4" guitar cable into an effects input jack, and measuring the battery that way. Saves on having to have extra TRS hardware.

One more tip. Before you break out the soldering Iron, try plugging a TRS jack into both jacks first. A LOT of pedal manufacturers are doing this already. It’s far from universal, but I wouldn’t call it uncommon to have this capability right out of the box.

I love these hacks! I got into electronics in 1988 after building a wahwah pedal that just picked up the shipping forecast. I studied through to degree level.... still couldn’t make a decent wah and probably learned as much from the pedal show in a couple of episodes as I did in 6 years formal education. Keep up the good work and keep rockin 👍

Because a lot of pedals have asymmetric hole patterns or countersunk screws that don’t fit right when flipped (even BOSS will have a gap), so if you don’t care about neatness or flat bottom, fine.

OMG, all this time, I thought they used switching jacks to switch the power. That is brilliant, Dan! Thank you! I'd actually forgotten about the Boss pedal flip, since my Boss pedals are only used in Boss BCB-3 boxes, for my bass, and I have no Boss pedals on my guitar board. Way back in the 1990s, I built my first wooden pedalboard, and immediately discovered the Velcro problem. As it turned out, back then, I engaged in quite a bit of re-patching my signal chain during sets, so I stopped using pedalboards altogether and put my pedals on the floor, loose. I used all Boss pedals, and because of the rubber on the bottom, they generally stayed in place fairly well. I've never heard of Servisol. Here in the US, my experience has been with CAIG Laboratories products, particularly their Deoxit line of products.

About Boss pedals, there are a number of sellers on eBay that sell replacement backs that you can get and switch out. One eBay seller out Australia has some easy to use plates (mc-fx) and SmallBear electronics has ones you use as well. What’s great is that the original backplate remains untouched and it’s easy to swap them out as needed. I’ve also seen some for Ibanez 9 series pedals.
