Second Build - Bearhug Compressor

[maine_man]

This was my second pedal build, and was somewhat better than pedal #1.  I've reaffirmed for myself that I need to work with larger enclosures, so I've started buying 125Bs for my next several builds.  I had a lot of trouble with the wire snapping when I tried to route it in the enclosure, so I've ordered some of Barry's best wire from GuitarPCB and I'll be trying it in build 3.  But, this build is a step up from my first build, so I'm pleased.  I've used Parks Super Glaze on both this and my first pedal, and I'm pretty pleased with it, as compared to how badly I would do with clearcoat paint.  Anyway, here's the Bearhug.

You will love the new wire. It is my favorite to use.

Nice job. Looks great, too. You'll get the hang of the wiring thing after some practice and Barry's wire really is great.

Love the art

That looks fantastic. Barry's best is what I use, it's great stuff. You may also seek out chrome so here, his online store front has got great wire cheap also.

Great image, makes me laugh ever time I see it.. I think its the look on the bears face. lol

I love the bearhug compressor. Its one that you just set and forget and it just makes things a little better. Never notice it until I shut it off.
