so i just received my starlight blue meathead & need to put it on my pedalboard..
but i don't really want to put velcro on the bottom.. do i? - i imagine it'd be a bitch trying to take off & maybe it would take paint with it..

any thoughts?

Buy a spare enclosure and swap out the bottom plate.

This^^^^^

Or a cable tie.
Failing that, there is the bicycle chain method...screwing it down to the board.

"back plate" idea would be much safer . . . if you want to keep them nice and clean. :ugeek:

Take a hair dryer to the back plate and slowly, slowly, slowly pull the velcro off the back. It works every time mang!
