Thermionic Culture Vulture Super 15 Stereo Valve Enhancer Review
The Super 15 is the most advanced version of the Culture Vulture yet. Building on the popular 11th Anniversary Edition, it adds more tonal shaping tools and even more distortion flavors, including three "squash" settings and five dynamic mid-lift options. A new +10dB setting bridges the gap between clean and overdriven tones, while an onboard Presence switch adds sparkle when you need it. Designed with carefully selected NOS Mullard valves, this unit is as reliable as it is versatile. Whether you're crafting subtle warmth or aggressive saturation, this stereo valve enhancer gives you full control.
Standard vs. Balanced Output Models
The Standard model of the Thermionic Culture Vulture Super 15 comes with unbalanced outputs, which are great for most studio setups and offer a slightly more open, raw sound. The Balanced Output model includes transformer-balanced line outputs for better noise rejection and cleaner signal transmission—especially useful for longer cable runs or professional mixing environments. Both deliver the signature Culture Vulture tone, but the Balanced version is ideal if you need maximum clarity and studio-grade routing flexibility.
