Replacement Boss base plates

Babones

Does anybody know of somewhere that sells replacement base plates for Boss pedals (just plain metal to add velcro to) that doesn't charge you more than the item for delivery? If I had the material and tools, I'd make my own, but sadly I don't.

Custom pedal boards do them... http://www.custompedalboards.co.uk/product/boss-base-plate/

Seen them, hence my question. They charge £7 for delivery for a base plate!

Yeah, CPB's postage costs are way too high. I think it comes to £35 for 5 of the stomper buttons. I mean, I like them, but I wouldn't buy more for that money.

Not a replacement plate, but have you tried this?

Interesting.

Boss do if you contact them directly.

Some newer boss pedals can just have the old one turned upside down if it's for velcro. 

Sadly a couple of mine are too old for that. I don't care - I rip the rubber off, they're going nowhere anyway.

Thread resurrection...I've just posted re. the same subject...I did buy some years ago, but I can't remember where from...

Never heard of them until now...I'll take a look...

They look great but to equip my pedal board would cost in excess of £200... I don't doubt the product but the price point makes it a no go.

I think the base plate of a 125b / 1590N1 enclosure will fit to a boss pedal

I ended up buying one off ebay, from a guy who makes them, for a reasonable price and postage.

Not to mention the extra weight 10 plates would add, no thanks

Thread bump, but anyone able to find a good source for a few of these base plates, other than custompedalboards, which is a bit of a rip off? With postage, it would come to just under £30 for 4...

They are superb though and well worth the money.

This has already been mentioned, but the free option is to flip the base plate over and attach velcro to what was the inside. I used to do this on my pedal boards when I had Boss pedals,  worked great.

I have bought them on eBay before and from Roland/Boss direct. They're not that cheap though but were cheaper than 30 for 4.

Thanks - I always hear this, but it's never actually worked on any boss pedal that i own/owned. It's always sticking out/the rubber is too thick.
