Yeah, do like Malekko and throw a sheet of 4 feet in with every pedal to be used at buyer's discretion.

Yea, I've bought multiple pedals where there were feet included to add at my discretion. It's like the pad on MXR pedals. Thanks for letting me choose and stuffs.

Fender, I'm looking at you on the Blender RI (and the damn thing's screw on the bottom that sticks out 1/4").

Never even thought about putting feet on my stuff, was even thinking about velcro-ing everything before it went out since almost everyone has a board these days.

man, dem fuckin' feet....

many years ago i put them on all the time. Just seemed like a nice finishing touch, and you could just rip them off if ya want. As an added bonus, after a pedal is built it gets kicked around the shop for testing and packing and general dickery. so having feet on it keeps it safe until it gets in yer hands.

Then a thread or two popped up like this and i thought, yeah... you're right, they are kind of annoying, i'll just put a little pack of them in the box and you do whatcha want. everyone's happy.

THEN... a dude bought a pedal, didn't see the feet floating around in the box, and put the pedal right on a hardwood floor. OF COURSE it was all hand painted and shit. he complained that it was all scratched on the bottom, and 'wasn't sure if he did it or it came like that.'

so, you get feet. maybe i'll just tape them to the volume knob so you have to see them and decide, feet or no feet? :lol:

Speaking of art on pedal backs, what do you guys think of that? I've been etching back plates for stuff I'm making for folks. I just don't know if that's a waste of time or not. It's a nice blank canvas but with Velcro goin on maybe it's a waste of time, eh?
