Hey everybody

I just joined. I live in Lake Delton, WI (although my address is in Baraboo for some reason). Grew up in southern MN, lived in Madison for a long time. I finished my first CBG last week and I have two more started. I have a ton of technical questions but I just wanted to say hi for now.

Hey Ryan!  I'm not far from you and live up in the Mpls/St. Paul area. Maplewood actually.  I'm new to this site also and learning a lot. Post up a couple photos of your build. I'd love to see it!

Hi Ryan,

     I'm pretty new to the CBG world - I am in New Richmond, Wi and purchased a CBG a couple months ago. About to start my first CBG build too. Pretty sure i have all the parts I need for the first one anyways... Made my first amp a few weeks ago.

Best Wishes!
