New custom LBA mini control knobs - made in house! These are mini knobs, but I also have a bigger knob which will be on my more expensive creations. That's a cosmetic upgrade with the new EQ mod, but there's more than just looks here. Enough people griped about the "Vision" knob being too high in frequency or that it wasn't audible for some, that I was convinced to design this upgrade. The new "Range" switch toggles between two different frequency options for the Vision knob. "Hi" is the stock setting of 10kHz, whereas "Lo" is just 3.4kHz. The Dark switch provides a very gentle high frequency roll-off at about 10kHz, which almost perfectly mirrors what the "Hi" setting of the Vision does. I say almost because you can actually get a slightly flatter frequency response across the spectrum with Dark on, Range Hi, and Vision 100% than you could with dark off and the vision turned down all the way. That is however, with more color. So if you want an un-EQ'd sound, but you do want more color, this configuration is right for you. It gets real interesting when you have the Dark on, Range Lo, and Vision 100%. In this configuration you get an upper-mid-band wide bell-curve boost centered at about 3.4kHz. That might just be the ticket if you're looking for more presence, but not necessarily more brightness. If you turn the vision knob down all the way, the dark switch can still be used, since it's a separate circuit. Vision & Range form an active (tube driven) high frequency shelving boost equalizer. Dark is a passive HF shelving attenuator. You can get a variety of new sounds with just these two new switches. Enjoy!
New orders will come standard with the EQ Mod and labeled accordingly. The price for a new DiVision has gone up slightly to allow for the added parts and labor. $349 USD new. Owners of stock DiVisions can send them in for the EQ Mod service for $75 plus shipping upon first emailing sales@lightningboyaudio.com with your DiVision serial number. This Mod includes the following:
