Original 1590B Size (retired)
The Spidola is, at its core, a hot-rodded, mid-heavy Germanium Treble Booster in parallel with a Bass Overdrive. This full-frequency approach yields a crisp, articulate low-noise punch like no other.
With a sleek, simple 4-knob interface that has been designed to sound great at any setting, you have access to innumerable combinations, and will be greatly rewarded for taking the time to explore them.
125B size with top-mounted jacks
The Spidola can belt out glorious, cutting tones one can only get by abusing early analog audio technology. This little box can pack a punch because it doesn’t contain any fluff, just the parts that really count.
Hand-Stamped
Built with nothing but the best parts available, the Spidola sports Switchcraft Jacks, classic Carbon Composite resistors, Panasonic & WIMA film capacitors, Nichicon Fine Gold audiophile-grade electrolytic capacitors, premium rail-to-rail op amps, and a vintage Germanium PNP transistor measured and hand-selected for use based on its performance characteristics.
Every part is hand-soldered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada by yours truly.
