Obviously the signal content is all-important, although this effect
is very unpredictable so experimentation is needed to find
something suitable.
The overdrive switch and filter are fairly self-explanatory to use.
Its worth noting that a lot of distortion combined with some
filtering can turn a sine wave into a triangle or sawtooth wave,
this does relate to keyboard and synth sounds very well.
The low level output jacks are provided to give a better output
level and impedance to feed into a guitar amp. This can be
useful when using the Vulture as a guitar distortion box, or when
needing to re-amp a line level signal.
Another thing to note is that the Vulture makes a great DI box.
Plugging a bass guitar into the front jack can produce some
incredibly good bass sounds. The same goes for fizzy guitars
(use the overdrive switch to “go all the way”).
