Thermionic Culture Little Red Bustard

The Little Red Bustard features the same input circuit and Attitude section as its predecessor, the Fat Bustard, but contains some notable new features. Thermionic Culture has removed the EQ and Stereo Spread controls, leaving just an Air control that only works on the high end. This comes in handy due to the fact that the Little Red Bustard does not have a solid state in its audio path. Consequently, this control imparts a luscious velvety quality on whatever signal passes through the device, leaving any and all harshness by the wayside.
