I like the idea of surrounding the pedals with the trim!

I saw Maceo Parker a few years ago at a college. Keyboard player's pedal was sliding around and he had to grab it and readjust mid gig. I thought, hey, he's just like me! And I also realized how distracting that looks.

But yeah, a mat with velcro works well. Not something I usually end up carrying around because I'm doing mostly bar gigs and no one cares, but for gigs where someone is paying attention it's helpful.

In case of a Roland DP10 I just fix its rubber mat with a strip of gaffa tape on whatever stage floor there is. It is visible at the bottom of the attached foto.
As for sustain switches like the common Yamaha I have a different trick which I can only explain in a video, I may add it later.

Cheers from MeinSchiff 3 somewhere on the Atlanic.

The DP-10 are the only ones which don’t slide when I use them, but also fixing them with some Gaffa tape is a good idea.

Other question: which holder do you use for the mixer below the 18950 and how did you fix them at the stand?

It is a balcony-flower-pot-holder from obi or any other DIY-shop, cut a bit in its width and mounted with long screws in self-drilled holes. Some foam stickers at its inside help fixing the mixer properly.

Cheers and good luck whatever happens tonight.

I made my own pedalboard yesterday. Now I’m wondering how you people put Velcro under the pedals. Because they have small feet and when you put the Velcro in the middle, it will not touch the board.

remove the feet

Hi! I've had good luck with this little silicone mat, on both low-pile carpet and hard-surface floors:
