Thermionic Culture Culture Vulture Mastering Plus Stereo Valve Enhancer
This version of the Culture Vulture Mastering was introduced in 2011, designed to give the user not only an accurate “mastering” version of the Culture Vulture but more effect options. The unit is accurately aligned for stereo or single channel operation. All valves are “military” specification, NOS, made in France and USA and have low noise plus extended life. With mastering in mind, this version of the Culture Vulture retains all of the qualities of the earlier design, and has closely matched controls and valves. A test report is supplied with each one, which gives the optimum current (usually 0.25 mA) which the Bias controls should be set to for minimum distortion.
Features:
- Low noise + long life valves
- Accurate side to side matching
- Frequency response extended
- Indented controls for easier recall
- Function switch has extra distortion type position
- Overdrive switch has extra mid-way position
- Output attenuator switch for better control of strong signals
- Balanced line inputs and outputs on stereo jacks
