Thermionic Culture The Fat Bustard

4U rack mount unit completely XLR connectors (12in / 2 to n / 2 out), completely unbalanced (and yes ... ) is apparently a willingness on the box towards the sound of not having the symmetrized signal after numerous tests. (It costs more expensive and mainly increase the price of the machine) it removes AC points. Quick tip damage: not linkable to insert before the output section. it's all analog, passive inputs, all-tube output stages. There is a section of eq very well used and typed (a bass lift that sweeps off to refocus on what 50hz when it mounts the volume, a lift top that does the same but for a 10kHz bass and top cut a section for stereo spread manage the wide with a low cut of it and a knob to increase mono signal (very handy, especially when leaving the summons stems from a global mix, but just for example keyboards stereos or other.)) and especially a knob attitude harmonic distortion of up to 1% distortion at max setting ... without comment, it's just amazing that button!

UTILIZATION

config arch simple manual ... I have not read it ... there is one? Everything is very clear from the first.

SOUNDS

the sound is very distinctive but at the same time this is requested. the advantage is that it is versatile because there are REAL bypass the knobs on any of the summing so if we just got back in and the tracks that bypass all it is pretty transparent. on the other hand of it touches the knob attitude and eq section there it starts to sing a sudden (but dangerous, too little gun down by any excess of it's great fun I) EQ effective but very special, difficult to describe. Induces the bike forcememnt of breath and besides, I'm still wondering if I will not send a balanced signal in the face because she headroom so monumental before to twist .... there is room and suddenly I have a lot less breath when I do that. I remove a point to breath even if it's really not embarrassing.

EDIT: After having long been used I do not take off point for breath, I'm going to and from a signal at +4 instead of -10, it does not budge a yota saw the headroom. .. and much more real blast.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it a month. I listened to others for me is the best with the chandler. (In style of course) I will ever be the choice I think yes, but I'm still missing a step back. I love the look, sound, simplicity, knob attitude. value for money ... euhhh .... it's super expensive but super good value for money so good but ... dear

EDIT: Forgot to mention that in the genre Manley is great too but there is one more in the same price range ...

So the price level as fat bustard is really great and I push it back in the nail with this attitude ... knob a blessing!
