Thermionic Culture Culture Vulture Super 15 Balanced

Description

Originally designed as a “distortion box” to simulate distortion in valve amps it has found lots of uses beyond this. We know that some owners use them on drum loops, vocals, piano sounds and even across entire tracks (it is a stereo unit). _x000D_
We have refined this so that distortion figures are reduced to only 0.2% at lowest to about 99.9% (at least that’s what our distortion meter tells us!). Predominant distortion can be changed from even to odd harmonics with a simple switch. We know it’s recently been rented to mix a JAMES BOND movie! _x000D_
Key Features: _x000D_
Warm sounds gently or create a noise like a 200 watt guitar stack with all the drivers slashed. Independent channel operation _x000D_
_x000D_
Odd or even harmonic distortion, or combination of both. _x000D_
All valve design free from solid state additives. _x000D_
High impedance line input or instrument inputs. _x000D_
4 & 7 kHz filters _x000D_
Overdrive & bypass switches _x000D_

Courtesy of long standing Culture Vulture fan Fletcher, from U.S dealer Mercenary Audio. Fletcher has provided several examples of what can be achieved with a bass guitar, samples include the original DI bass and via a SVT amp rig , original and Vulture together etc and with all the combinations including in song context with all the other instruments. Just load them up into your DAW for audition. _x000D_
