Earthquaker Devices Plumes

Earthquaker Devices Plumes is a unique, all-analog approach to a classic tube-like overdrive circuit offering 3 different clipping voices, loads of headroom and almost three-dimensional clarity that will push your amp over the edge. The reimagined tone control is finely tuned to sculpt low end, clear top end, and focus midrange with blooming sustain.

Plumes is an overdrive based around that classically overdone tube-like circuit you all know, and amps crave. The pedal offers lower noise, better signal integrity and more chime in the high end than the original circuit. There are also three different added clipping options for your consideration.

Mode 1 is symmetrical clipping utilizing a pair of light emitting diodes and offers the crunchiest setting. Mode 2 is clean boost mode. This eliminates the soft clipping diodes altogether and leaves you with straight OpAmp drive. Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement similar to the stock screamer but with more output and clean clarity; the tone some people describe as “transparent”.
