Universal Power Supply mounting method "B".
(Universal mounting bracket and 6-32 hardware sold separately)
Step 2: Attach adhesive backed Hook and Loop and 3M Dual Lock Strips:
(If you mounted your power supply using hardware, be sure you leave open area around the screw heads in case you
need to remove your power supply in the future!)
We recommend alternating your strips of hook and loop and 3M Dual lock strips as shown in fig. 1 below.
If you are thinking about using two strips of 3M dual lock for one row of pedals, we recommend you test this idea by
mounting your power supply under your pedal board with two strips of 3M dual lock. If you choose to go with all 3M dual
lock, you will need to purchase extra 3M dual lock separately. For some people it will take a small pry type tool to remove
a pedal in the center of your board. While this is definitely a more secure mounting, when it comes to repositioning or
swapping out pedals it is not very practical.
Using a combination of Hook and Loop and 3M Dual lock provides far superior pedal mounting than the standard 2 strip
hook and loop method used in the past on most pedal boards, while providing a practical way to reposition or swap out
your pedals.
Caution: If you are using an Accel power supply or plan on purchasing a FX Pedal Board Universal Power Supply
mounting bracket. Make sure you cut out around the holes you plan to use for power supply mounting.
3M Dual Lock Mounting Instructions: (Read before using this product!)
Mounting Instructions:
Note: When using 3M™Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners. To obtain optimum bond to any surface, apply above 68°F (20°C). All
surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, dust etc. Remove protective liner and press firmly onto the substrate for full
surface contact.
Adhesive bond strength increases with time, as the adhesive flows into the structure of the substrate. Handling strength is achieved
immediately. At room temperature, approximately 50% of ultimate bond strength is achieved in the first 20 minutes, 90% after about
24 hours and 100% after about 72 hours. Since the grip strength of 3M dual lock is much stronger than a standard hook and
loop product (Velcro) the bonding strength of the adhesive is required to be much stronger. So be sure of the location where
you want to mount it. It will be very difficult to remove once full strength is achieved.
Caution: When applying hook and loop and 3M strips to your pedal, make sure you are applying them in the
correct position so you will be mating the hook and loop strip on your pedal to the hook and loop strip on the
pedal board and likewise the 3M Dual lock on your pedal to the hook and loop strip on your pedal board (hook
and loop won't mate to 3M dual lock and vise-versa.
