Product Description

Plumes pedal with guitar cables

Design Notes

Plumes is based on that classic tube-like circuit you all know, and amps crave. While this particular circuit has been done to death, we think the Plumes offers an original take on the old, tired dead horse everyone loves to beat on.

For starters, we’ve done away with the sacred 4558 IC and the classic BJT transistor buffers and replaced them with JFET operational amplifiers and raised the input impedance to nearly 10 megaohms! This offers lower noise, better signal integrity and more chime in the high end. We power this OpAmp by taking the 9v input and converting it to +/- 9v. The end result is a more 3-dimensional tone with added clarity that really pushes a nice tube amp over the edge.

We’ve added 3 different clipping options for your consideration. Mode 1 is symmetrical clipping utilizing a pair of light emitting diodes. Mode 2 is clean boost mode. Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement similar to the stock screamer but with more output and clean clarity.

Controls

Level This controls the output volume.
Gain This controls the amount of drive.
Tone More bass to the left, more middles in the middle and more treble to the right.
Clipping Modes (3-Way Toggle) Symmetrical LED clipping: more crunch and compression. No clipping: wide open OpAmp drive for clean boost. Asymmetrical silicon diode clipping: more transparency with a loose feel.

GOOD OVERDRIVE PEDAL
4 Stars
GOOD OVERDRIVE PEDAL
this pedal screams thats all i can say, im new in pedals so i discover Plumes is better run after noise gate to fx loop. cuz if i run it before the noise gate to fx loop, no changes in sound. so what i did i run my 805 before the noise gate and plumes after the noise gate. its like a very very heavy tone that its still tamed but very loud. chug so crispy nite that both are overdrive. lucky my noise gate Silencer work so fantastic i cant even hear any noise. unfortunately i returned the plumes cuz i though i dont really need it but now i missed it and regret it i even bought that for $89 on sale. now i want one cuz i really missed that tone it brings with my 805. its a Screaming destroyer!

5.0 out of 5 stars PLUMES is the real deal😃🎸🎶
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020
Just received the Plumes pedal today after watching all the videos on You Tube and all I can say is the Hype is real. Love this pedal. There are no bad settings on this pedal. All the 3 modes just sound fantastic. Mode 1 gives you a great crunchy old school amp sound. Mode 2 a clean boost that can also make a driven amp scream and finally mode 3 for that beloved tube Screamer 808 without losing any low and high end with the mid push.The clarity and dynamics I am getting are just great. Stacks great with other pedals as well. Built like a tank and the soft switch is a great touch with the option of the one touch release. Sounds fantastic on all my amps and different guitars.What's not to like? Great price and lifetime warranty 😃👍

Me encantó este overdrive, tuve un wampler tumnus el cual vendí para comprar este y no me arrepiento, la versatilidad de este pedal es increíble los tres modo están perfectamente y diferentes modo 1 lo uso para ritmos por el cruch tan genial, modo 2 en acordes limpios para dar más cuerpo y presencia, y modo 3 para solo esta excelente, lo recomiendo mucho, quien diga que no es bueno el sonido o no sabe como configurar o uso el adaptador incorrecto, pero dudo que a alguien no le guste, 100% recomendado no se arrepentirán
