I'm currently building a simple pedalboard to house my pedals, after getting tired of carrying them seperately to gigs, but I'm having a problem of getting carpet now. Yes... carpet or cloth. I've searched SS2, Uptown and 1Utama and haven't come across to a shop that sells them. What I need is a thin carpet (Looks something like this http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~sdkuehn/pedalboard/side320.jpg )that sticks well to the velcros & preferbly a shop that provides carpet gluing services (Carpet glue > Super glue ). I don't have much time to look for the stuff now, so do you guys know where to get the materials??? Any carpet shops in PJ area???

Thanks in advance & pics will come later.

Have you tried like one of those Non-Slip mats that they use in Bathrooms? I use them for my pedals and it works surprisingly well!!

Non slip mat? what sort?


Anyway good to see more DIY stuff!

Non-slip mats? How thick is it?? I have come across some mats just now but they are a little too thick imo.
Btw, my pedalboard's pretty big, I've left some allowance for additional stompboxes in the future . It should be able to hold at least 8 Boss-type pedals if placed properly.

Those round round bulat bulat platisc thing ?

I think using the rubber mat for the cars to hold handphone,coins, keys whatever is much better

This is what you get when you have no money LOL!!!
Or you have lots of cash but not supposed to use them because they're reserved for other GAS issues.

Seriously, I needed a large pedalboard and those available are too pricey.

Hah... they can't hold velcros, can they???

exactly why i asked btrix "what sort?"
LOL
I thought of those bulat bulat thing as well...

Something like that.....

You can go to any home DIY shop and just look around..... and what I'm saying is that you don't even need velcro.... because it sticks to the pedals very well!!

OH!!! Now i know what u mean.
Its not those ring ring type of mat...


But its those little round round suction cups.

No. Not that one either...... Will show you my pix next day.......

How bout this?

the material can be used with velcro i think, havent tried. but i think it would work. the underside is made of rubber, and u can use dunlop glue to stick it to a board. They're quite cheap, around 4.90 pr pc. but im sure u can get it at any hardware store

nice
remember to show it when ure done

That one, I think if you stomp the pedals around, it still move. Unless you glue the whole board with it but still got chance if you stomp hard, you pedal will be move around
It's dirt cheap of course...like 2 for less than 4 ringgit?

Just came back from Kamdar, found a carpet that actually sticks on velcro (Velvet ones don't work). It doesn't stick as well as I thought but I should worklar hah... now have to look for carpet/super glue to glue it on the pedalboard & it should be done!

evo.com, don't worry, pics will come eventually.

At the meantime, if you have a DIY pedalboard, why not post some pics here? I remember echo has one made out of a drawer and chapree has a simple one for his bass rig.

how much did u get the carpet for?

RM25 for 1.5metre of it.

It looks like it could be used as a floormat for my toilet.

Just finished my pedalboard, looks pretty good, will upload pics soon.

bump to this thread. i want to build one for my own too =)

speaking of which
i covered mine with used pagoda singlet =p
then i tied a huge knot at the back off centre
my pedalboard is now raised at a slight angle XD can see the pedals perfectly lol
