You can get them here on the forum. Click the 'accessories' button at the top of this page. They are on the third page. Buying from the forum helps in funding the forum. I say that everyone should check the forum store first.

Leg Clamps.

May I ask what you guys use these for?
I also saw two different sizes. Why choose one over the other?
Thanks!

Size would be governed by how big and heavy the thing that you want to clip to the leg is. I have my Danelectro EQ mounted to my leg with one of the clips. I can easily press the button. I have a large Overdrive/distortion pedal that gets in the way of having any other stomp boxes on the floor next to my volume pedal.

I just super glued the clip to the back of the stomp box.

20 years ago, I replaced the cheap plastic clip on my Matchbox with clamps for hanging brooms, rakes & shovels that I bought at a hardware store. Still working perfectly to this day
A couple D-10s,some vintage guitars & amps, & lotsa junk in the gig bag.

The Clamps.

Post by Bill L. Wilson »

I cut off sections of the gray PVC pipe, hold the pipe up long ways to the flat side of my grinding wheel until the pipe becomes C-Shaped....Drill and counter sink (2) small holes for the screws that attach the pipe to the pedal, or in my case a broken Matchbox clip, a small platform for my tuner and a holder for my bar & picks....And the PVC is much stronger than most of those thin clips that a lot of companies use.

Posting here for someone elses future reference...

I used these clips from Amazon for attaching a stomp box to a PSG leg... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CQZMNZ1

I used the 20mm size and they grip tight to the leg.

For what it's worth, I've found that the snap-on leg grips sold by Jeff Surratt at Sho-Pro are also great for adding some extra grippage / stability to the 'legs' of the Tab Rack sold by Tom Bradshaw....keeping the tablature where it needs to be.

Thanks for the tip Peter. I once used some generic clips similar to those but they wouldn't stand the routine clipping on and off for very long and would break.

Do these seem to be pretty flexible/substantial?

That's my question too. I like the looks of them and would like to try them -- I've had a few of the Show Pro clips from the Forum Store break over (a lot of) time.
