Surfy Bear FET Reverb

Post by ifallalot » Thu Apr 20, 2017 5:42 am

I have all my parts collected, I just need to actually do it

Here's my housing

I'll post some pics along the way

The one thing I'm doing different than a lot of the guys on SG101 and what's different than the original 63 is that I'm using a medium pan 3 spring instead of a long pan 2 spring. It should still get the crash and splash though.

I'm assembling parts for a bear/trem combo unit myself. I've made the decision to build the whole chassis from scratch, though, so it may take me a while..

I'll be posting it over on SG101 when it's done, as I'm sure you will as well. Cool to see everyones' projects.

What a fantastic choice of enclosure. Love it!! I had a lot of fun building my reverb unit. A much more conventional 6G15 clone.

me too. but it depends on the price. I don't necessarily need one.

Now back to the original post. I'd totally build my own unit it I'd find a housing as cool as that:
