QUESTION!
I am now receiving the bits of my pedalboard experiment, and have a positioning question. Should my pedals go as high up as possible on the board (although this only leaves one rail supporting them, which to me would seem rife for them tilting around)..or lower so they sit on two rails? The problem there is that any pedal with feet would sit up on the rails, and the velcro attachment would be rendered useless.
Any opines would be greatly appreciated.

So how do you keep those pedals from moving around?
Too risky. I associate with questionable people already.First thing you do when you get a new pedal is, take the rubber off.
Velcro I get and got. but the issue is if if the pedal is centered on the top rail, the bottom half (the button) is off the rail, and so the pedal can tilt up when stomped. Or am I being totally OCD here?
Position it so the part you stomp is supported. Pedals come in all different sizes and the only way one lines up perfectly with the rails is luck.
in my experience there's no such thing as luck.
Basically I should put everything clean first, then OD them, and then add reverb...
The ? is now a Morley optical mini volume pedal. Does that need to be moved around?
I don't use velcro.... I use the stuff that's called "3M Industrial Fasteners" or Scotch "Extreme"
It's the stuff where both sides are the plastic hooks... no felt. So, you're getting twice as much in one package because the stuff still sticks to a felt covered pedal board.
BTW... "3 times stronger than velcro" means "you better have a fucking flat tipped screw driver to wedge between the pedal and the board when it's time to lift them off.
