So Good
I own so many saturation/distortion plugins. Izotope, Waves, SSL, Plugin Alliance, Soundtoys, Newfangled, Fabfilter and Softube not to mention the Ampex and Studor from UAD. The Culture Vulture is a must have. It is amazing when recording guitars direct with Apollo devices. Simply amazing.

My Secret Sauce
This can really turn a 'meh' sound around. Among other things, I use this plugin to fatten up 'clean' guitar sounds. It makes a no-distortion or low-distortion guitar sound much fuller while keeping it clean sounding. I'm glad I 'discovered' this awesome tool.

THE BEST DISTIRTION
I use Thermionic Culture Vulture in every project! Perfectly highlights the bass and drums in the mix!!! The best distortion plugin!!! Voracious, but it's worth it! I recommend it to everyone!

Was not expecting that…
I was always curious about the Culture Vulture and randomly took advantage of the free demo…WOW!!! This thing is a really awesome version of the soundtoys destressor (I intentionally put it in lowercase to get my point across). I do Hip Hop, RnB and Dancehall and the Culture Vulture will be a permanent fixture on my drum buss. Also does some beautiful things on sub basses.

The analogue sound of Thermionic Culture Vulture
This plugin has it's own unique character of analogue gear. Tube and tape effect that even by overloaded settings it gives the harmonic distortion of the analogue roundness, thickness, panchiness in the sound and creats the energy that I try to achieve on a digital domane projects. Thermionic can be used on single channel giving a character and present on guitars, bass, lead sunths; even on vst instruments to make them sounding natural and real by enriching the harmonics and enhance the artifacts of analogue sound. The same time works for busses to creat unity. Thermionic is a versatile pluging that depends how you tune on different sources it gives the energy hot sound and corrects digital wackiness and artifacts and brings life to any track. I'm really happy to own this plugin to my collection of UAD library because it gives me multiple choice to work on diverse projects.
Thank you Universal Audio for making our digital platforms sounding close by to analogue.

Saturation for days!!!!
I honestly can’t get enough of this plug-in. There are NO RULES with this. I slap it on EVERYTHING! Especially brass/wind instruments. Gives it that extra body regardless of the mic used.

Sweet extra heat
I have just tried the Culture Vulture on my rear bus, and gives a lot of extra warm saturation to the mix. There's so many colours and ways you can go with the Culture Vulture. From subtle to very distorted. A must have.

This one goes on the vocal
I added this one to my arsenal to have something different for vocals if it needs a push forward in the mix.

A little something dirty
Works great on the drum buss, for just a little extra pronouncing.
