A bit of pedal p*rn for you DIY'ers

Cool build. I too am trying to work on the neatness of my builds as well. I'm also trying to figure out why the rubber feet plus velcro on the bottom of the enclosure?

The pedal was made with the rubber feet, then someone stuck velcro on to fit it to their pedal board. It's a pro-built pedal, so if the owner didn't need to take the feet off to fit it, then it was easier (and less financially damaging to its used value) to leave them on.

A couple of my pedals have feet and Velcro for the same reason. Except for the selling part.

I will have to get creative applying this to stripboard builds, since the connection points for wiring so rarely line up neatly with the enclosure layout. But I am confident I can make it work. Insulated solid core wire is an option too, it bends and stays put.

I took the rubber back off my '81 TS-808 so I could stick first velcro, and then 3M Dual Lock to attach it to the pedal board. But somewhere along the way I've lost the back (along with its serial number) and devalued it significantly. I keep hoping it will turn up, but haven't had any luck at all.
