Title: Bearhug Compressor (old version)
Post by: Tuxedo3 on June 17, 2016, 11:37:38 PM
Finished up a Bearhug that I've been really excited to put on my pedalboard. Turned out really really well. Sounds amazing with just the right amount of squish. What do you guys think? Still working on getting my wiring clean. Also, huge shoutout to desmondtencents for sending me some parts I was missing.

Very nice, that writing is plenty clean imo. Once it's closed up no one will ever care. I tend to leave wires a bit longer so that if I need to replace a switch or something there is a little extra to work with.

I just built a Bearhug on vero. It's a really nice sounding comp.

Looks really clean. You might want to use some heat shrink on the LED. If something gets jostled it could short the power against the enclosure.

This. I'm was brain storming ideas about how to protect it, that's a solid idea.

That looks real great. You should protect the joint between the resistor and the wire going to your led, keep it from shorting on the enclosure.
