Thomann Pedal Board Tape

I had previously seen and heard people give hearty recommendations for this type of velcro alternative so I decided to give it a shot.

The idea behind this product is a velcro-like mounting system for your pedalboard that doesn't wear out and wobble like regluar velcro does. In theory this is a great idea. There are however a few issues, this might be personal, but here goes:

First of all, the cost. When you buy this product, you get about a meter by two centimeters of this pedal board tape for 10€. Compare that to Thomann's velcro alternative that they use on their pedalboard lineup, which costs 5€ for 3m by 5cm.

Secondly, the adhesive. I found it to be very subpar compared to velcro. On multiple occasions I ripped it straight off the board while trying to remove a pedal. If that wasn't the case, it ripped of the pedal itself. I'd say maybe 5/10 times I was able to disconnect the tape properly.

Now, this might simply be down to me using the tape not as intended, but I quite frankly cannot recommend this product compared to the ol'reliable velcro. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
