Re: Would you mount your pedalboard on your wall?
The only way i can see it being useful is in a permanent rehearsal or recording space, using a pedal switcher (eg Gigrig or such) on the floor to turn pedals on/off, while fiddling with knobs on the wall. (Like some kind of musical glory-hole, i guess.)

I think I could pull it off if I dressed like Spiderman and had his powers.

We had two drop off the wall due to humidity and the weight of a couple of dog leads (so a few hundred grams).Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 11:27 pmI've never hung up anything heavy enough that they gave out, but I haven't bought a house yet, and every time, I get one or two that pull an 1/8" of paint with when I remove the strips. Could just be cheap paint, but damn.
Clean removal (without the ripping paint/plaster off) requires pulling them straight downwards almost comical amounts (~20cm) until the adhesive bit looks like they're going to snap.

That's how I take them off. I honestly think that I've just lived at some places that paint with REALLY cheap paint.andy_tchp wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 1:22 amWe had two drop off the wall due to humidity and the weight of a couple of dog leads (so a few hundred grams).Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 11:27 pmI've never hung up anything heavy enough that they gave out, but I haven't bought a house yet, and every time, I get one or two that pull an 1/8" of paint with when I remove the strips.

Why not just use a shelf?

An the poor guy with ADHD, or whatever, that spends hours trying to get them all in a straight, level row. No! Now the compressor is an 1/8” too low!

Re: Would you mount your pedalboard on your wall?
I've been meaning to do this for aaages. My wife works in a charity shop and we happen to have loads of big, gilded looking picture frames. I keep meaning to turn them in to pedal boards, so that I can have those pedals that aren't currently on my main board kept somewhere. Ideally, I could then mount them on the wall (but we live in a small rented flat, so that's not happening).
Rather than it being somewhere to keep my main board, I think it would be a cool way to store alternative boards and pedals.

I'd consider a wall-mounted system as an option for when the floor is hot lava.

That's really really cool, I love outside the box upcycling of random items into music gear.

Re: Would you mount your pedalboard on your wall?
Thanks. This is a small one, as like a proof of concept. Now that I know how easy it is to make, I'll have a go at making bigger ones.
Starting to think about getting felt in different colours and having it so that the backgrounds are felt art versions of album covers.... This is not a good idea, but it feels like it might be cool....

Sounds like a legit business idea, I can see that selling for sure.sessylU wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 4:22 amThanks. This is a small one, as like a proof of concept. Now that I know how easy it is to make, I'll have a go at making bigger ones.

Re: Would you mount your pedalboard on your wall?
Pedals on the floor makes total sense for standing playing/on stage, especially if mid-song effects changes are required. But at home on the couch or when at the tweaking stage, having them on the floor makes access to the controls difficult. I don't see much utility in wall mounting, but I've been experimenting with a laptop table/pedal board that can theoretically go back and forth between the floor and coffee-table height.
