The New Orange DIVO system

[Aslan]

Does anyone know what the new DIVO system would cost as an add on for an older amp? I'd love to put one in my AD200 and my Rockerverb 50.

Hey! Alex, give us some info on the DIVO system.

What is this that you speak of?

Since it has just been introduced at NAMM, I think pricing and availability are still TBD.

From what I read on the orange website, it sounds as though it is already something available and that orange just struck a distribution deal.

Found it on their site:


The new DIVO technology automatically adjusts the bias of the output power tubes to ensure their full potential is realised. It monitors the amp’s performance and will isolate faulty tube failures by running them at half power until the tubes can be changed. The DIVO system also increases the reliability of amplifiers by maintaining the optimum performance of the tubes by performing an ‘in circuit’ test every time the amplifier is powered up.

 
DIVO technology opens up whole new dimensions in tone options allowing for the first time ever the ability to mix and match tubes. You can experiment with an EL34, 6L6, 6550, KT77 or any other tube type all at the same time in the same amp. With DIVO the tubes are automatically matched.
 
DIVO will extend the lifespan of your tubes, and you will never again need to pay a tech to re-bias.

Sounds too good to be true!

Heres a video description. Terrible camera work by the way. I think he may have thought he was shooting an art film or something.
