Out of the three available sizes, I consider this one the worst in terms of cost-benefit. The smaller size works perfectly for standard pedals like the Boss OC-5 or the MXR M89, without the need to spend more on medium or large plates.
However, this system is far from perfect. The biggest issue is the adhesive, which often leaves sticky residue that is hard to remove when you decide to detach the plate from the pedal. This can affect the pedal’s appearance and even its resale value. Another drawback is that depending on the arrangement, using plates can actually reduce the usable space on the pedalboard, limiting layout flexibility.
Because of that, while the plates are functional, they’re not necessarily the best solution for everyone. Many users prefer alternatives like Dual Lock, industrial Velcro, or zip ties, which provide equally secure mounting but with less hassle when it’s time to reorganize or swap pedals.
Conclusion
The plates work as intended, especially the smaller ones, but they come with clear limitations. The system is convenient during installation, but not very user-friendly when it’s time to change your setup. It’s worth considering whether the initial convenience outweighs the potential downsides of adhesive residue and reduced space.
