EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Overdrive Pedal – Analog Tube-Like Drive with 3 Clipping Modes

The EarthQuaker Devices Plumes® Small Signal Shredder is a reimagined take on the classic tube-style overdrive. Fully analog and meticulously designed, Plumes offers three distinct clipping modes, increased headroom, and a redesigned tone section—all delivering a rich, articulate overdrive that cuts through the mix with clarity and power.

Whether you're after the aggressive bite of symmetrical LED clipping, the clean boost of OpAmp drive, or a smooth, transparent tone with asymmetrical silicon diodes, Plumes gives you all three in one compact pedal. With enhanced input impedance and EarthQuaker’s Flexi-Switch® Technology, this pedal is built for stage and studio versatility.
