The Thermionic Culture VULTURE Stereo Valve Distortion Unit. Highly versatile and respected twin channel device, ideal for instrument tracking and even mix buss applications, delivering subtle warmth through to hair removal insanity.
The Thermionic Culture 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.
