The EarthQuaker Devices Plumes is an overdrive pedal that draws inspiration from a classic green overdrive design. When paired with a tube amplifier, it produces a warm and transparent saturation that enhances your tone. The pedal utilizes low noise JFET OpAmps, resulting in a robust signal and a lower noise floor, while its 10 megohm input impedance ensures clarity and chime.
Plumes offers three selectable clipping modes. Mode 1 provides symmetrical clipping for a crunchy tone, ideal for clean amps. Mode 2 functions as a clean boost, enhancing your tone without soft clipping. Mode 3 delivers asymmetrical clipping for added output and clarity, reminiscent of traditional designs but with modern enhancements. The pedal also features EarthQuaker Devices' Flexi-Switch Technology, allowing for momentary and latching footswitch operation.
