Caroline releases Olympia "25" limited run with Relic Music

Caroline Guitar Company released the Olympia "25," a limited-run rebuild of its Olympia pedal made in collaboration with Relic Music, priced at $189.991. The product page on Caroline's site is titled "SOLD OUT" and marks the pedal out of stock1.
Caroline describes the original Olympia as the first guitar pedal funded on Kickstarter, in 2011, and says it had been more than a decade since the company made them1. The "25" rebuild follows a specific unit: Caroline says its friend Mike at Relic Music in New Jersey owned a "Columbia" katakana branded era Olympia with deliberately mismatched 5088 and BC184 transistors, and the company rebuilt it "wired by hand part-for-part, board for board"1. The reissue comes in a silver and black colorway with oxblood Davies knobs1. Caroline also says it found a quantity of the old box stickers featuring Bianca's art and the original manuals1.
The listing gives the pedal's weight as 20 oz and its dimensions as 6 by 4 by 3 in1. Caroline says a very limited number were available through Relic Music and its own site, and that once they were gone they were gone1. The page directs buyers to Relic Music if Caroline's stock ran out, and vice versa1. Caroline also states that pedals ship within 24 to 72 hours of purchase, and that it was not selling wait list spots, pre-orders or "pedal futures"1.
