Thermionic CultureFat Bustard II Summing Mixer (Unbalanced)

Thermionic Culture Fat Bustard II

The Fat Bustard II, from Thermionic Culture, is a completely passive input summing mixer with 14 inputs (4 of them stereo), 4 pannable mono inputs, and 2 aux inputs with a dedicated pan switch. All of this imparts on the unit’s exceptional sonic quality by providing an extra layer of malleability.

Thermionic Culture has spared no expense with the Fat Bustard II’s internal circuitry, which is the core of its spectacular sonic sheen. It uses a pair of 5965 valves for summing and incorporates a pair of 6SN7 valves at the output stage. In tandem, these two incorporations allow for optimal headroom and a characteristically smooth response.
