Hey guys. I just got a couple of pedals with velcro on the bottom. The thing is, I want to peel it off. Of course we all know what happens to the "ROLAND JAPAN" sticker that sits under the velcro... Has anyone found a method of removing velcro WITHOUT removing the precious Boss label???

Short answer is no, but if you find a way please let us know. I spent a whole day peeling away the velcro from my RV-5. I was lucky because it was mostly stuck on the edges but I'd be interested in hearing about any tricks you may figure out.

I always cover the label in masking tape before I apply any velcro - that way, when I remove the velcro, it will pull off the masking tape rather than the label. It won't help you now, though...

I'll have to try to figure something out. I can't have velcro (or no label) on my new finds! I'll let you guys know if I have any success.

I tried this one and it worked

Take out the bottom plate and put it in a fridge. The velcro pulled off with minimal marks. But the sticker was not peeled off the botton plate

I've pulled velcro off several pedals recently without pulling the labels off. I just find a corner that will start and once I get enough of the velcro up to get a finger on the label, I continue to slowly work the velcro with one hand and hold the Boss label down with the other. I have not always been successful getting the serial number sticker separated from the removed velcro, though.

Grace and peace,

Steve

I'll try the refrigerator method, since I don't feel like going to the hardware store right now. Results will be posted tomorrow.
