The Griffle and Fuzz Wump effects pedals

It’s been a ride and we’ve loved every moment of learning, tweaking, problem solving and designing! We went for a matte white 1590B enclosure…

Friends of the Bear Q&A – Drew Millward

2 Years of Loaded for Bear

Things didn’t really get going until I resigned in early 2020 from my position as Music Technician at The University of Manchester. At this point, things were starting to look straight forward… until the pandemic hit, and all that came…

Friends of the Bear Q&A – James’ Home of Tone
Only a few months into our journey as Loaded for Bear, we discovered the Home of Tone and it just made sense that we should get in touch to see if owner James would be interested in representing our new brand. He offered to take a range of our guitar cables to The Guitar Show…

Friends of the Bear Q&A – John Nathan Cordy
Shortly after our launch we received an enquiry from guitarist John Nathan Cordy, expressing an interest in our cables. He had been searching for a UK based cable business to supply him with instrument and custom cable assemblies for his rig. We’re very pleased he found us, because he’s awesome and we’re very proud that…
