This is mine pedalboard (pedaltrain). Not sure which model it is, since I got it from the dutch "craigslist".
It's about 24 inch by 12,6 inch (61cm x 32 cm)

Nothing fancy. I recently removed the iConnectivity iConnectMIDI2+ from the pedalboard and mounted it on a 19" plate inside a case (where also my DI and cable looms (jack, midi, power) are in). Together with a new mioXM midi interface.

In the middle is the Airturn BT200S-2 bluetooth pedal for switching songs in Bandhelper that is running on my macbook pro (which is connected to the mioXM interface).

I've recently bought the cable sleeves to give it a more cleaner look and attached labels at the end for easier plug-and-play during setup of the rig.

How do you fix the Nord Single Sustain Pedal on your pedaboard?
Thanks!

From the picture they seem "velcroed" to the pedalboard, probably with adhesive velcro attached under the pedal (?)

But at the bottom of the Nord Single Sustain Pedal are many „knops“. it isn‘t possible to make a flat gluing of a Loop tape?!?

Here's my new pedalboard setup. Prior to this, I individually connected all my pedals and cables during setup, then rolled everything back up individually at the end of the gig. It took a long time. I used the pedalboard for the first time this past Saturday and it was a game-changer. Wish I would have done it sooner.

I thought that I might be bothered by the smaller pedals in a more compact arrangement as well as the angled pedals on the top row, but I feel like I'm immediately at about an 80%-90% comfort level, and I like that all pedals are within an 18" horizontal area.

I think I'll eventually explore custom-length cables to eliminate the excess, but no one sees the extra cable on the floor anyway, so it's fine for now.

Here are the components:

Holeyboard 123
- Expands from 13" to 25". I set mine to 18" to fit between the legs of my K&M 18880.
- I am not using the large pedal extension that comes in the package.
- Can use velcro or included zip ties to hold pedals in place. The zip ties keep everything tight.
- Very light and very low to the ground.
- Using a Gator Mixer Bag 2519 for transportation and the remainder of cables, IEM setup, and camera bag.
- I have two wrapped "snakes" coming out of the left side for the audio and pedals for each board, and snake coming out of the right side has the power cables for the keyboards and my headphone mixer. I add the audio cables for the headphone mixer and the Aux feed from our monitor mixer to the right side during setup.

Top Row
- Boss FS-7 Dual Footswitch - independent rotor on/off switch for each board. I have to be careful not to hit the expression pedal on the bottom level when I'm tapping the lower "B" switch.
- Boss EV-30 Dual Expression Pedal - control Organ Swell on both boards simultaneously.
- Radial Key Largo Keyboard Mixer
- Power strip mounted underneath with cords for NS3s, Key Largo, and Headphone mixer already attached.

Bottom Row
- (2) Hotone Ampero Press Compact Expression Pedals - one for each board. Super smooth and linear in response. These replaced two Moog EP3 expression pedals which were too large. I'm still getting used to the throw distance and foot angle when executing fast manual "wahs" on two of the songe we play.
- (2) Yamaha FC5 Sustain Pedals - one for each board. I had to drill a pair of holes in the base of each to accommodate the zip ties. These replaced the Nord-branded sustain pedals that were bundled with my NS3s.
