I was tired of using the typical hooked/material velcro system on my pedalboard because if you are gigging a lot & moving your effects board around, pedals are constantly falling off /unsticking which can be stressful when you arrive at a gig, you open your board bag & your pedalboard is a dirty mess, most velcro products are just not reliable enough. The Thomann Pedal Board Tape is very strong & the glue is really effective also....the only thing is it is a little too strong, so if you do use this product & if you need to move your pedals around on the board, instead of fighting to pull the pedals off with your bare hands (& you will) just take a flat tool like a paint scraper or even a butter knife & gently push it under the space between the pedal & the board, this will unhook the pedal from the board with ease. A great product
