In need of DIVO

Perhaps the pressing need for us tube amp owners is the knowledge & ability to re-biasing our amps following our power amp tubes replacement. In the mean time, this know-how is strictly tech-inclined but a very recent development sees the DIVO technology developed to address this concern.

The DIVO system is currently integrated into the latest generation of Orange amps to manage power tubes performance & optimization. In a nutshell, the system keeps track of errant tubes in the line-up so we know which one to do away with. Upon replacement, the system re-biases the fresh tube automatically- isn't that good news for us?

Orange: Dark Terror

New Terror addition to the fold, the Dark Terror, debuting this Musikmesse 2011. We are often taken in by product labeling, thinking the name given has a full implication to performance- how many of us fell for the Tubescreamer by virtue of its 'scream' label?- until we hear the gear in action. Let's hope the DT above does include that dark matter it promises, more importantly, let's hope the manufacturer's interpretation of darkness matches ours.
