Thanks for the vid - i can tell the difference immediately! Have been waiting to hear this for years. For me, the overstayer has an either smooth or aggressive quality to get into a wider palate for someone looking to have a more malleable unit, but the cv is just always kind of gritty but in a middle ground-ish area, they’re both incredible instruments & it’s all about taste!
PLease, could someone from funky junk explain to me what the hell the Bias control actually does and the effect it has on the sound? It feels like it makes it quieter whilst acting like a frequency dependant gate/expander on the signal, only allowing the hotter stuff to come through to the circuit? Am i anywhere close to this? Been trying to understand what effect this actually has on the sound for quite a while! Would really appreciate your clarification on what it's doing technically and what this actually does to the resulting sound! Thank you so much!
Hi, thank for you comments! The Bias control regulates the flow of current through the 6AS6 “distortion” tube, with the current level displayed on the milliammeter. At lower current levels, the Vulture receives minimal power, creating a thinner sound that distorts easily. Higher current levels cause the Vulture to become “overfed,” producing a fuller, heavier tone. A moderate current keeps distortion to a minimum, providing an optimal setting for adding subtle warmth to the sound. Hope it helps!
@@FunkyjunkItaly excellent! Thank you so much for clarifying! So with the bias control to the left is the "thinner sound that distorts easily" and to the right it's "Overfed / fuller?" Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this!

loved the side by side quick A/B with comparable settings at the end. Excellent video!
hell yeah! This is what im talking about! Thank you so much for making this video!!!
Awesome video - thanks 😄
They both sound great, but when blending the wet and dry materials i could hear a lot of phasing... not great.
Now compare it to the HG 2 and the loop Trotter
