Take feet off HX FX

[loydall]

Hi - I want to attach my HX FX to my pedal board - using velcro. I've not found a definitive answer as to whether the screws of the feet on HX FX need to go back in if the feet are removed?

 

I can't see those little screws attaching to anything crucial/structural in the HXFX - surely internals would be connected/mounted internally? 

 

Any ideas?

I would not replace the screws after the feet are removed just in case the extra length of the screws inside the chassis might contact something and cause a short circuit. Instead I would cover the screw hole with a tiny bit of tape to prevent dust from getting in and then velcro to your pedal board.

Thanks - yes, this makes sense.

Make sure you keep the feet and screws in case you want to replace them later.

It is OK to put the screws back without the feet, but the screws are there only for the feet. Both ways are fine.
