Thermionic Culture Fat Bustard MKII Limited Edition, with Set of spare tubes and manual. To my knowledge only 100 of these were made. There are some subtle differences between this and the standard model.

From the TC website: “Mixer (special equalisation for the mix,stereo width, bass to centre) but a little less colourisation and even lower distortion and noise, though not as much max “Attitude”. The top response now extends to 50+ kHz with consequently less phase shift.

It uses 6072A double triode input valves in place of 5965s.

Both Fat Bustards have exactly the same 14 inputs, and same controls. The black more Aggressive Fat Bustard continues to be made, so the user has a choice until all the Green ones have been sold.”

I had no issues pulling plenty of color and aggression out of it when I wanted to. Lovely sound and workflow, just down-sizing a bit so I’m letting it go.

Only change I made is replacing all of the rubber switch caps. The factory ones were brittle and falling apart, so it’s a big improvement. Otherwise well cared for and in the exact shape it was in when I got it last year. Couple of minor scratches on the top and a small paint chip on the bottom right corner. Has lived in my rack the whole time.
