Members anjin-san Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've outgrown my NYC and my Pedaltrain...where do they get the stuff they use? I imagine they buy it in huge quantities. Is there stuff I can buy a couple of yards at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PKTrono Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 how big is your board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anjin-san Posted November 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I guess around 36x16 give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NewRiggins Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 having the same issue, cant seem to find large enough sheets at any of the common stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Michaels, etc.) I've used the carpet that is used for pop up exhibition displays before, but if you tend to rearrange your board frequently it doesn't seem to last and after awhile starts to look F'd up as well as gets very loose because the weave starts to give.

Members anjin-san Posted November 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 The carpet on the NYC didn't really hold up either, but I've had it for like 5 years. The board itself is a champ, I just don't feel like spending 200+ on another one at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anjin-san Posted November 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 the thing is, I have an M13 in my rig, and 5 other pedals and that fit on the 30" NYC just fine. But I went and bought 2 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JrB Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Velcro carpet on ebay. Get it by the foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NewRiggins Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I know exactly what you mean. I've outgrown mine as well, I've been an amp distortion guy for almost 30 years but wanted to change things up and have a bit more versatility. Never needed a big pedal board until now. Fully intend to build my own as I have in the past, and I want the right velcro carpet because I want the damn thing to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zappa74 Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I use this shit. 5 feet is $9 at wal mart. Apparently it's the same kind Trent Reznor uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anjin-san Posted November 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah alright there's polymat speakerbox/trunk liner carpet in a 3x4 piece for seven bucks. But it gave me an idea of where to look for it locally. Gonna check the car stereo joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ok exaggerating, 7 would do it)The velcro carpet on ebay is the trade show display crap I've used in the past, loops get pulled out and loose too easily.

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 In the past, I have use hair trimmers to trim away some of that fuzz that keeps the pedals from sticking. Clippers, then vacuum. Works pretty well. It's not the final infinite solution, but it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it cost me $25 or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
