STEREO VALVE DISTORTION
The Culture Vulture Super 15 also showcases several inspired new features.
The Drive switch has three positions with a +10dB option sitting squarely
between ‘Nor- mal’ and ‘Overdrive’, enabling users to make their sounds ‘a
little more crunchy’ with incre- ased brightness. Meanwhile, the Drive knob
now goes all the way up to 15, rather than the decidedly more conservative
Spinal Tap-favou- red 11! The Function switch now offers further
enhancements including special dynamic tunable mid-lift in the P positions
and extra- drastically-processed harmonics in the SQ positions. The new unit
also has a two position Presence switch, as featured on Thermionic Culture’s
popular Solo Vulture product. The Output Level controls have a -10dB
attenuator which can be used in conjunction with Drive +10dB for comparison
purposes or just to reduce high levels. The module’s line plus DI inputs are
balanced while the line plus low le- vel outputs are unbalanced. Five NOS
military- grade valves are utilised for long life, low noise and enhanced
performance, mirroring The Culture Vulture Mastering Plus.
