Ingenious. It grips the pedal bar from inside, not marring the bar.

My first thought is it is a "homebrew". The bend in the metal is to much of a curve for a factory item, which would be more of a right angle.
That said, it is a neat idea.
Are the two blocks wood?

They seem more like hard rubber. One friend suggested Dale, but he usually works in Al, this is steel.

| All you have to do is glue a piece of suede leather to the inside (completely cover) a Goodrich or Hilton pedal bar bracket and it won't scratch the pedal bar. |

Definitely wouldn't be hard to make. You could use a block of Delrin for the "clamp" part.
1) Drill "axle" and adjustment bolt holes through the block.
2) Split the block through the "axle" hole axis.
3) Screw lower block to metal bracket.
4) Install axle and clamp bolts.
5) Install bracket to pedal.
Good source for Delrin is from highway departments that use Delrin on the bottom of snow blades. It's usually an inch or two think. They usually have scraps they will give you.
The bracket is a neat idea.

Jack, this bracket also clamps tight enough to ensure it doesn't move.

I may have to replicate one of those.

Is it spring loaded? Looks like to me tightening the screws would make it open up. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong.

Tightening the screws DOES open it. It grips the INSIDE of the pedal bar. Freaking ingenious. I bought it here a couple years ago. Never seen another like it, and the guy I bought it from didn't recall who made it. The only identifier is a "made in USA" sticker.

I do not know who made that one, but we recently released something similar in a way. We have a slotted bar piece that mounts to the pedal bar and stays where you want it. Then you mount the other half to your pedal and can remove pedal by just lifting it up. Or it can stay with the guitar.

Mike, those are mice also. I use a homebrewed drop over bracket I bent in my shop.

Jerry Newberry made those Mike. I got one from him at St Louis last year. They work great.
Thanks Lane, I see how it works now.

| Actually Henry Del Mullen invented it. We made a small run of about 12, then got too busy and we gave Jerry permission to make some. Then we finally got around to making a batch. These are all CNC machined and hard Black anodized aluminum. Very high quality and durable. |
