The Thermionic Culture Ultra Vulture Stereo Valve Enhancer builds on the success and performance of the Culture Vulture 20th Anniversary model. The Ultra Vulture's performance offers the best harmonic distortion money can buy, making it best suited for enhancing stereo buses and total mix bus - breathing rich saturation and dimensional life into your audio.
The Thermionic Culture Ultra Vulture Stereo Valve Enhancer takes the Culture Vulture to a new level making it more suitable for accurate stereo uses, including mastering, where extended frequency response, low noise and re-callability are of prime importance. Transformer balanced line ins and outs are standard, on XLR connectors. Although the unit can be clean, The Ultra Vulture can be used for distortion effects! Push it and try it! The user has total control over the type and amount of distortion, which can be changed from even to odd harmonics or a combination of both. Starved, the sound from The Vulture becomes thin and loses its body, overfed, it becomes fatter.
New features include:
- Lower noise and minimum distortion than previous models.
- Wider bandwidth with more low end extension and high end well beyond 20khz.
- Subtle lift of low and high frequencies for clarity, size and depth of sound.
- Wide sweet spot of controls for subtle stereo use with excellent stereo matching.
