Thermionic Culture Vulture Mastering Plus stereo valve dirtortion unit: a transformer balanced version of the original with matched valves and military grade components.
The Vulture can warm sounds gently or create a noise like a 200 watt guitar stack with all the drivers slashed. Originally designed as a "distortion box" to simulate distortion in valve amps it has found lots of uses beyond this. It is often used on drum loops, vocals, piano sounds and even across entire tracks (it is a stereo unit).
The Culture Vulture Stereo Valve has been refined so that distortion figures are reduced to only 0.2% at lowest to about 99.9%. Predominant distortion can be changed from even to odd harmonics with a simple switch.
Thermionic Culture Vulture Mastering Plus main features:
- Highly versatile and respected twin channel device, ideal for instrument tracking and even mix buss applications, delivering subtle warmth through to hair removal insanity
- Transformer balanced inputs & outputs on stereo jacks
- Transformer balanced rear mounted bypass switch
- Large indented input Drive controls

- Specially selected or military type valves with longer life and low microphony
- Carefully matched 5725 distortion valves
