Haha he's a beast!

I remember meeting him in PHX, back in August 2017, a day before Mayer's concert, I was in a guitar center looking for something, and I started going through some Mayer songs on a beautiful strat I saw, he heard me and came by, as he started asking me questions I couldn't help but think "why is he so familiar", as soon as I told him we were there for the concert, he told me "oh yeah I'm playing there" and I knew it, I had just begun listening to him, and it was amazing meeting him and hear him play, he's so humble and cool.

For a couple of my smaller boards where I needed a 2nd row but couldn't fit a pedal riser, something that helped was using the Tall version of the Barefoot Buttons. Makes it easier to switch the pedal without bumping things.

Tension or a hard break angle would be problematic - however, there is no stress on the cable under the way, there is about 1/4" clearance from the Dual Lock Velcro. It's not sitting flush against the surface as a result.
