Installing the PedalSafe® Pedal Protectors with Universal
Mounting Plate
Attaching eects pedal into Universal baseplate
With screws:
Most versions of PedalSafe® are designed to screw onto existing pedal bottom
plates using the original screws or supplied replacement screws and can be easily
removed without any residue. First loosen the screws that hold the bottom plate
of your pedal and take them out. Place the bottom plate of your PedalSafe® above
the bottom plate of your effects pedal. Now use the original screws of the pedal to
mount the PedalSafe® bottom plate to the pedal. Should your pedal’s own screws
not be long enough, we have included common screw types that are long enough
to sufficiently fit their respective PedalSafe® types.
Without screws:
Some PedalSafe® types (such as Types A1, A2, K1 & K2) clip right into the transparent
shells. For these PedalSafe® types, you simply pull the shell over the pedal housing
and press the bottom plate into the shell until the rims of the shell snap over all sides
of the bottom plate. This way of mounting can also be used for all PedalSafe® types
on pedals with completely at bottom plates and without protruding screws.
Installing the PedalSafe Pedal Protectors
Hole outlines:
PedalSafe® systems are designed for most eect pedals on the market with dierent jack
sockets and footswitch congurations. That’s why we have marked most common holes
which need to be cut out to gain access to sockets and footswitches. Simply place the
PedalSafe® on your eect pedal and check which holes need to be cut o. Then, carefully
use a cutter or a sharp knife to gain access into your eect pedal.
Housing Sizes & Shim Plates:
PedalSafe® is available in a wide range of dierent shapes and sizes in order to t as
many pedal types as possible. Some eects pedals have slightly dierent dimensions;
therefore it is normal for some pedals to have a little space leftover between the
pedal and the inside walls of the shell. This is especially common for pedals for
PedalSafe® Type B, C, D1, D2 & L, and therefore optional shim plates are being provided.
We recommend using a shim plate if the height of your pedal is lower than the height
of the PedalSafe® shell.
Installing PedalSafe cover:
Pull the transparent exible shell over the pedal and Universal baseplate. Press it down
through the pedal until the rims of the shell snap over the edges of the bottom plate.
Once the bottom plate and shell are mounted, place the transparent cover over the
control knobs to secure your settings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For mounting PedalSafe® Type E onto BOSS compact pedals, you
must rst detach the battery cover/footswitch plate by removing the screws before
being able to pull the PedalSafe® shell over the pedal. Afterwards, reattach the battery
cover/footswitch plate again.
Mounting on Pedalboards
For mounting your PedalSafe®-protected eects onto your pedalboard, a self-adhesive,
reusable silicone pad is included. The silicone pad will stick to virtually any smooth
surface without leaving any residue. Simply wipe o the bottom of your eects pedal
with a clean, soft, and dry cloth and remove any glue residue from previously installed
hook and loop tape. When the bottom surface of your pedal is clean and dust free, peel
o the protective lm o the silicone mat and place it on the bottom plate.
Don’t worry if the silicone pad gets dirty. Peel it o, straighten it out and clean with
warm water. Air dry only, do not use a cloth, this will leave dirt and bers on the surface.
Once dry you can reattach it to PedalSafe® with universal mounting plate.
