Curious Audio LLC, based in Indiana, USA, hand-builds tube amplification products for musicians and music producers, with components that are carefully chosen to achieve the utmost sonic quality and character without being unrealistically expensive.

“The Curious Oddity”

Curious Audio began in 1995, as an idea for a small tube amp that could be a legitimately useful tool for recording musicians with space and loudness concerns. In 2008 Chad Corley built the Audity One prototype (“#0”) and immediately put it to rigorous use in his work as a producer and musician. After years of using his Audity in studios and on stages (and countless people asking him to build one for them), Chad decided to make Curious Audio a reality in 2018.

At Curious Audio, building tube amplifiers combines the passions for music, tube sound, and quality hand-built gear. We’d love to help you build your tone, so contact us with your inquiry, or customize your Audity online, and we can start building your amplifier!

The Curious Builders

Chad Corley was introduced to the world of tube amps in 1995 and has never recovered. In the ensuing years he’s repaired and modified scores of amplifiers, a useful skill alongside his endeavors as a songwriter, performer, and music producer, and as a founding member of the Sleep-ins and 128 Records. He maintains a home recording studio called Electrologue.
