Initially, it might be feasible to believe that only bad products need modification, but Matt Newport from Black Lion Audio will tell you otherwise. Black Lion Audio doesn't modify everything, and they intuitively select the products that they'll put under the knife. The gear that gets surgically enhanced is all popular gear from companies that already do a lot of things right but just need boosts in certain areas to make them top notch.

After all, if Black Lion Audio didn't have standards, they might as well stop modifying things all together and build all of their products from the ground up.
