How to Mount a Quad Cortex on a Pedalboard Without Velcro
Yes, you can mount a Quad Cortex on a pedalboard without Velcro. The BoardMods Quad Cortex Pedal Plate gives the unit a clean, reusable mounting surface designed for Temple Audio Templeboards, with zip-tie mounting options for many other pedalboards.
This helps keep adhesive off the Quad Cortex while giving the modeler a more secure place on your board.
A Quad Cortex needs a secure, non-damaging pedalboard mounting solution. Adhesive-free mounting plates are a clean alternative to Velcro or Dual Lock because they avoid sticky residue while giving the unit a stable mounting surface for Temple Audio boards, zip ties, or other pedalboard setups.

• Designed for Temple Audio Templeboards
• Works with zip ties on many other pedalboards
• Helps secure the Quad Cortex without sticking adhesive to the unit
• Reusable when your board changes
Why secure mounting matters for Quad Cortex
Quad Cortex is the center of many modern guitar rigs, and it is too valuable to leave on a weak or messy mount. Hook-and-loop adhesive can work, but it can collect dust, lose grip over time, and leave residue on the unit.
A mounting plate gives the Quad Cortex a cleaner interface with the pedalboard and helps reduce the risk of movement during setup, transport, or performance.
What pedalboards do they work with?
The BoardMods Quad Cortex Pedal Plate is designed for Temple Audio Templeboards. It can also be secured with zip ties on many other pedalboards that have open rails, slots, or cable pass-through points.
Zip-tie compatibility depends on the board layout, so check that your pedalboard has a clear path for zip ties before ordering.
Installation Overview
1. Don't use adhesive
This stuff is a nightmare to get off!
2. Remove the bottom screws
Remove the existing screws from the bottom of the Quad Cortex.
3. Attach the plates

4. Find the right position

5. Securely mount it
Mount the pedal using the provided M4 machine screws, on a Templeboard, or use zip-ties for any other board with rails or slots.
