I’m posting this because I’ve seen lots of questions about how to mount the FM3 to pedalboards. There are a lot of good ideas such as using screws, etc. This is just the way I do it. I’ve found it to be easy, relatively cheap, and quite strong. It allows you to keep the end caps on and allows airflow under the FM3.
To mount the FM3 (or FC6), I use 2” strips of 3M dual lock (not the low profile stuff; I like 3550 from Amazon)
This will work on carpeted or smooth boards.
Attach four of the strips to the unit.
Use 8 strips to create risers (use a Sharpie to black out the sticky tape as desired).
Attach risers to the strips on the unit.
If using a carpeted (aka fuzzy side of Velcro like on a pedaltrain) board you can just put the unit in place; the dual lock sticks very well to Velcro loop (again, the fuzzy side of Velcro).
If you’re using a smooth board, use four more strips.
This works very well and is very solid. 3M dual lock is soooooo much better than standard Velcro.
Anyway, I just thought I’d share one way to do it. Like I said there are plenty of other good methods. Hopefully this helps a person or two.
