Members J.Paul Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 I've been knee deep in pedalboard world the past couple of months...(kind of a new thing for me). Is there something on the market or something that anyone here uses to keep the knobs from accidentally turning on the pedals?Perhaps a plastic cover or lid that goes on top???? I've considered removing the plastic knobs leaving only the metal stubs, but thought I would get some feedback here first..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The*Ataris Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 Are you talking about the knobs moving while playing or while transporting? If transporting, a good foam-lined case goes a long way, and I always make sure to check my settings while setting up--just goes with the territory. Playing? Keep your big honkin' feet under control! The only problems I've ever had while playing were with MXR pedals. The Output knob on the Distortion+ NEEDS to be taped down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members loosegroove Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 Another tip is to take the knobs off and add a small piece of some surgical tubing on the shaft and put the knobs back on. This should create enough friction to keep the knobs from accidentally moving, but you can still change your settings if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J.Paul Posted March 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 mainly during transport. my pedalboard has two levels, the top level has controllers (loops, volumes, etc.) underneath, the bottom level has the actual pedals and AC power. Since there are so many connection cords and ac cords, sometimes a knob can get moved during travel or if I lift the lid to access the bottom level (to change a setting)a knob can inadvertently get moved.

Members Jaron Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 what about using some white out to mark your the knob placement on your pedals and doing a quick check right before you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
