Independent hobby workshop · Canavese, Italy

…that little amp builder from Canavese.

Tube amplifiers designed with a vintage sensibility and built through a contemporary engineering approach.

Identity

Vintage soul.
Modern engineering.

RL Technology was born where tube tone, handcraft and electronic design meet.

It operated as a commercial brand from 2009 to 2014. Today it continues as an independent hobby workshop: a place to build, experiment and preserve the story of its projects.

Please note This website is not a commercial catalogue. It presents historical projects and workshop activity for demonstration purposes.

The man behind RL

Two passions.
One voice.

RL was born where electronics lived every day meets music played for real.

Roberto Lavorgna has worked in electronics for more than twenty-five years and has studied and played music since the age of ten. Engineer and musician share the same bench: measurement, listening, curiosity and the desire to build something with a character of its own.
