Item# CULTURE-VULTURE
The Thermionic Culture Culture Vulture is the first and only all valve unit, dedicated to producing the best harmonic distortion money can buy. It can 'warm' a sound gently, or create a noise like a 200 watt guitar stack overdriven with all speakers slashed.
The Culture Vulture is a two channel unit for adding harmonic distortion to a variety of input sources. By biasing and configuring the distortion valve (6AS6), three types of distortion with infinite variations can be achieved.

Item# PHOENIX-MASTER
This is the latest development in the evolution of the classic Phoenix compressor, first introduced in 1998. After requests from mastering engineers the Thermionic Culture Master Phoenix was introduced in October 2006. This was more recall-able with indented pots and slightly different power supply and metering circuit, in which trimming the meter alters the current through the compression valve so compensating for valve aging.
The compression curve of the mastering Phoenix is slightly...

Item# PURPLE-BUSTARD
Following on from the phenomenal success of The Fat Bustard summing mixer whose features include Attitude, EQ, stereo width, and of course a big fat sound, Thermionic Culture found that there's a demand for a similar warm sounding summing mixer with more channels at a lower price, keeping the unique Attitude control. Enter The Thermionic Culture's Purple Bustard.
This unit utilizes the same input circuit and Attitude section as the Fat Bustard, using the same type twin triode valves.
Instead...

Item# THER-EARLYBIRD-4
The Thermionic Culture Earlybird 4 contains 4 channels of extremely high quality valve pre-amplification. Originally made in black in 1999, this is a special "revival" limited edition in red (limited to 49 only). The black edition is still available with the updated circuitry.
As the individual channel circuitry in this version of the Earlybird has been simplified in order to provide 4 channels in one 19" unit, so the individual channel specifications have risen. Thus making this the most...

Item# THER-PHOENIX-SB
The Thermionic Culture Phoenix SB is now the standard production version of the Phoenix compressor. Alongside the now classic circuit design of the original Phoenix, it incorporates the side chain filter controls from the previous standard Phoenix SC model with the new addition of an HT standby switch.
The additional HT Standby switch allows the user to put the Phoenix into a low power standby mode that is designed to increase the life of the unit's valves and capacitors. When first switching...

Item# THER-PULLET
The Thermionic Culture Pullet is a passive EQ which has a sharp focus on mid range frequencies. The Pullet will provide the EQ network to a signal but will reduce the signal level so that a preamplifier with a gain of up to 40dB is needed in order to lift the signal back up to unity gain when the Pullet EQ is set to 'flat' or bypass.
The preamplifier is used at the output of the Pullet. The fact is that most people will already have a preamplifier that can be used, either a standalone...

It provides a high quality Mic / DI / Line pre-amp, suitable for any type of microphone, DI or line source. Then comes a unique sounding award winning EQ section, specially designed by Vic Keary, comprising broad but very useable frequency bands with a 'vari slope' curve for bass and top. This is also a feature of the Earlybird 2 series of mic-amps. Finally, the ability to change...

Item# THER-SNOW-PETREL
The Thermionic Culture Snow Petrel is designed as a two channel microphone amplifier for all types of microphones, especially certain ribbons, eg. Coles 4038, which have a lower output level than others but offer superb quality. Their full potential can be realised with this high gain unit as it has a natural valve sound with very low background noise and distortion. The passive "AIR" control is provided to lift the very high frequencies as many ribbons suffer a little loss there and this...

Item# THER-SWIFT-EQ
The Thermionic Culture SWIFT EQ equalizer has been designed to be as much at home in tracking individual instruments or sitting across a stereo mix buss to equalise the final mix. . As with other units of theirs, such as The Phoenix, all controls are clearly labeled and setting up the eq is quick and easy, so Thermionic Culture named it after Britain's fastest bird in level flight.
THE SWIFT utilizes influences of 2 classic designs of the "golden days" of all valve recording with improvements...
