Hello March 2025!

We've finally made it into March territory. Being my birth month, March has always had a special place in my heart. Also, being from the mid-west, March's weather potential has always fascinated me. In elementary school I remember being told March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, or vice versa. We would color in lambs or lions and predict which way it would go. We never really paid much attention to which way it actually went though. We were kids, and by the time April came along we had already forgotten what even happened in March.

Here in 2025, March has came in cold and rainy, so take that whichever way you want. It does look like a few nice days are about to pop up though, so that's when I plan to start build season 2025. I've added a few more circuits and ideas to the build list, bringing our total number of projects to eighteen for this year. This still includes the 5F1 that I need a lot of parts for, and especially guts to test. Speaking of small amps, for some reason my Fender Mustang Mini has decided it wants to join the team again. Since it's back in semi-working order I won't be using Buddy (my 386-based amp) as much as I did last year. I always felt the test results with Buddy felt a bit off. Not sure why, they just did.

I won't even lie and say that I'm going to stop at eighteen builds this year, I'll just say that's where we are for now. Will I build more treble boosters, even though I already have tons? You bet! Will I build more overdrives even though I already have tons? Yep! Will I build another amp? Maybe! Will I need to order a ton of parts? Can confirm! Is 2025 going to be a good year? shrug For now I'll take it one day at a time and see where that puts me. The key is to not make too many moves too quickly, but progress has to be made. Let's get after it!
