Pedal.Labels

Here at Elevation Boutiques we are always in search of innovative products to offer our customers. We recently teamed up with the popular blog site, Effects Bay to offer a product that they've just put out. They are called Pedal Labels! The following is straight from the Effects Bay blog explaining these genius little stickers!  



It’s time tighten up your board! If you need the ability to mark your pedal settings, but hate using masking/painters and drawing circles or check marks, or if you print labels (ie: Avery mailing labels) and hate how they stick and tear while peeling, I have the the solution for you! When dealing with masking tape, you usually deal with sticky adhesive left behind and sometimes, depending on the age of the tape, it will harden and be very difficult to take off.
I wanted to have a solution available where a label will adhere to a surface, but peel off cleanly when you want to remove it or replace it. I also wanted to have a label that compliments the pedal is and is easy to read. Here is the Pedal Label System (PLS). I created pre-defined formats that could be applied to various pedals including boutique styles, etc. If your pedal has many knobs and does not fit the conventional formats, the pack also includes single knobs and toggle switch labels. Knobs are simple circles where you can identify the settings and position anywhere on the pedal.
Another great feature is the ability to set multiple settings. You might need to track multiple settings on a single knob. Color markers could be used to identify the different preset needed.
So you’re thinking of labeling some pedals – how do you get your hands on these? I’m offering a label pack that will get you the following labels:

Applying Pedal Label3 Ibanez 4 knob labels
3 Ibanez 3 knob labels
3 MXR Wide 2 knob labels
3 MXR 1 knob labels
9 MXR 2 knob labels
12 MXR 3 knob labels
9 Boss 4 knob labels
9 Boss 3 knob labels
6 Toggle labels
54 single knob labels


This should cover many of the average boards out there, and still have extra labels in hand. Having extras is the whole point. Next month, you don’t like your previous settings.. peel off the label add a new one. Simple. Remember the MXR, Boss and Ibanez styles are just referencing their dimensions. Many boutique 3 knobs enclosures can use the MXR 3 knob format for example. Different pedals like a Strymon/Pigtronix with multiple knobs and switches can use a combination of labels above (ie: Boss 4 knob + 3 single knob and 1 toggle).
Each pack will contain 6 rack card style label sheets with the labels indicated above. All labels were designed and printed in the United States!

You can order Pedal Labels right here at Elevation Boutiques for only $9.95!
