The Plumes is a low to medium gain overdrive based on the trusty lime-green overdrive that has been an industry staple since its inception. A unique approach to a classic tube-like overdrive circuit, this pedal features 3 different clipping options and reimagined tone control to give you more sculpting options. This pedal is suitable for any player looking for a classic tube-like overdrive sound.

Unique Approach to a Classic Tube-Like Overdrive Circuit
This pedal provides a unique approach to a classic circuity, offering more headroom, lower noise, and far better signal integrity. This is the kind of overdrive that works in conjunction with a good valve amp to create the warm saturation people like to call "transparent". While this circuit has been the foundation of countless other overdrives available today, the Plumes has a few twists and turns to make it unique enough to stand out.

3 Different Clipping Options: Symmetrical LED, Asymmetrical Silicon, and No Diode OpAmp Drive
Mode 1 is symmetrical clipping utilizing a pair of light emitting diodes. This is the crunchiest setting the Plumes has to offer. Mode 2 is clean boost mode - perfect for pushing your clean tone out in front or driving the preamp of an already overdriven amp into tasteful breakup territory. 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".

Reimagined Tone Control
The reimagined tone control allows you to sculpt low end, clear top end, and get a focused midrange.

Was not what I was looking for

Well, I have an old Tube Screamer and I was looking for a more updated take on that unit. Many reviewers noted this pedal had a similar tone and overdrive structure to the TS and that was exactly what I wanted. It had a few more options, so I viewed that as a bonus. Anyway, it did not work well for me. I have high-end pedals and my sound and tone are pristine; and I like it that way. I removed my TS and installed the Plumes - which was a bit of a pain as the jacks on the Plumes are on the top side of the pedal. This does create a puzzle if the "next-door" pedals have the jacks on the side. Requires - ideally - patch cables with the plugs on opposite sides. But, I digress. The sound from the Plumes was very fizzy. Died out with a decaying rhythmic distortion sound. Not OK. Tried all the settings and it was no better. Moved it around on the board, but not much improvement. In addition, I found it to have a pronounced treble characteristic that was a bit too much for me. I re-installed my old TS and bingo all was good ..... I like the sound of that old pedal much better. BTW the LED is blindingly bright! So, this did not work for me and I am going to return it. Maybe it will work for you??

Great versatility, great value

I am using the Plumes on my bass pedal board. It does a great job of dialing in subtle overdrive without losing your low end. Awesome purchase!

So good!

This pedal has exceeded all of my expectations. I had never owned a TS style pedal before but this pedal makes me understand why they are so revered. It is LOUD with tons of level on tap and I absolutely love it!
