Effects Pedal Mounting Bracket

Abstract

An effects pedal mounting bracket designed to securely mount musical effects pedals to bases is provided. The effects pedal mounting bracket works in conjunction with both the existing hardware on a musical effects pedal and the secure mounting hardware provided. The embodiments disclosed herein provide a secure and solid bond between the effects pedal and the base.

1 . An instrument effects pedal mounting system, the system comprising:
 a base unit having at least one instrument effects pedal mounting hole; and   at least one instrument effects pedal mounting bracket, the at least one instrument effects pedal mounting bracket comprising a body portion defining a pair of adjacent holes for removeably mounting the instrument effects pedal to the base unit via the at least one instrument effects pedal mounting hole.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the base unit further comprises a plurality of instrument effects pedal mounting holes arranged in a substantially rectangular fashion. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one instrument effects pedal mounting bracket utilizes an effects pedal housing screw for mounting the instrument effects pedal to the base unit. 
     
     
         4 . An effects pedal mounting system, the system comprising:
 a base unit having a plurality of effects pedal mounting holes;   an effects pedal mounting bracket defining first and second holes, the first hole configured to receive an effects pedal housing screw, the second hole configured to receive effects pedal mounting hardware; and   an effects pedal mounted to the base unit via the effects pedal mounting bracket, wherein the effects pedal housing screw connects the first hole to the effects pedal, and wherein the effects pedal mounting hardware connects the second hole to the base unit.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of effects pedal mounting holes are arranged in a substantially rectangular manner. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the effects pedal mounting bracket is substantially planar. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the effects pedal comprises an instrument effects pedal. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the first hole of the effects pedal mounting bracket is connected to a housing of the effects pedal. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the effects pedal further comprises a base connected to a bottom plate with the effects pedal housing screw, and wherein the effects pedal mounting bracket has a width that permits the effects pedal housing screw to engage both the base and the bottom plate when the effects pedal mounting bracket is connected to the effects pedal. 
     
     
         10 . An effects pedal mounting bracket comprising:
 a body portion defining first and second holes, wherein the first hole is configured for being removeably secured to a base unit, and wherein the second hole is configured for being removeably secured to a bottom surface of an effects pedal.   
     
     
         11 . The effects pedal mounting bracket of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second holes are adjacent to one another. 
     
     
         12 . The effects pedal mounting bracket of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second holes are substantially circular.
