EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Small Signal Shredder Demo 

we need a powerful and normal collab pls

Andy Othling my favorite guitar player commented on my favorite RU-vid channels video and I’m imploding right now.

Need a powerful and perhaps abnormal collaboration.

You have left me feeling all kinds of powerful and normal right now, my friend. ❤

*NORMAL AND POWERFUL INTENSIFIES*

Awesome! Sounds like way more fun weekend plans 😊👍

@@WolverineSticker I love it. It’s still on my board and not going anywhere!

Cheers, man. I always try to include as many sound sources as possible :)

rusclemania7 7 - I already have a Kalimba, so it’s not that out there for me 😊👍

Oh boy! Thank you so much. Your kindness just made my day ❤

Happy to hear you're enjoying it as well. I was really surprised by how good it is and how much I actually like it, because TS-style pedals are usually not my thing. But that Jamie Stillman has a way with dirt pedals. He always brings out the best in a drive circuit ☺

Awwww, buddy! Thank you. Too kind of you ❤

Thank you so much! Kind of you 🙏

And I'm so happy to have you here, man! There's crunchy ambience in spades on this channel ☺

Oh wow. Too kind of you. Thank you ❤️🙏

Thank you, man! That is unbelievably kind of you. And yeah, the price definitely makes this pedal a nobrainer in my book. Incredible sound and versatility you get in this one.

Thank you very very much!

Haha! Awesome! The pleasure is all mine. I'm just thrilled to hear you find the demos helpful and inspiring.

Happy to hear you're enjoying the Plumes. Just such a well-voiced drive pedal 👍

I'm deeply honored to hear you found the demo helpful and inspiring, makes all the work that went into making it worth it. Plumes is rad. You're gonna love it!

Thanks, man! Talented people deserve recognition 😊

Cool to hear you enjoyed your first venture into the world of EQD. You simply can't go wrong with their pedals. And yeah, Plumes is a phenomenal drive pedal. Not a bad sound in it. Truly is a nobrainer at that price point 😊

Well it’s a great amp. I love it like mad as well 😊

Thank you!

Nice.

That’s a great song. Love that whole LP.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Awwww, man! Thank you 🙏

Buddy!! Thank you so much ❤️🙏

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the riffing 😊

Happy you enjoyed the demo, buddy. Always means a lot to me 🙏

Thanks, man! 🙏

Thank you so much! 🙏 I’m sure you’ll dig this pedal. It’s so delightfully responsive and versatile

Cheers! Yeah, it’s a great sounding pedal 👍

Awww, man! Thank you so much. Warms my heart ❤

Thanks! 🙏

Haha! Thank you so much 😊🙏

@@thepedalzone definitely worth a song^^

Yeah is this a song yet if not let's go

The Biyang X drive is an amazing alternative

I'm stoked to hear you're hyped about it as well. It really is a great drive pedal 👍

Does it have the same amount as buttery compression as the TS9?

Thanks, man! Hope you've regained the feeling in your face again 😊✌

Thank you so much, man!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Very kind of you 😊🙏

@@thepedalzone I second the notion. That chord progression felt like crispy Slowdive. What was the tuning?

Cheers, man! The tuning is CGCEGD

Super honored that you found the demo helpful and inspiring. You’re not gonna regret getting this one. It sounds KILLER 🤘

Buy them direct!!

Thank you so much!

@@thepedalzone ♥️

I'm really happy to hear you're enjoying the Plumes as well. And I 100% agree with everything you wrote about it. It really has a voice of its own, and that voice is awesome!

Very kind of you. Thank you 🙏 You’re gonna love Plumes. It’s a killer overdrive

Happy to hear you dig it. It’s a super cool drive pedal

Happy to hear you dig it. It’s a super cool drive pedal

@@thepedalzone yes, been lucky! most of all, I am amazed to compare the price and the quality, it's stunning.

Happy you enjoyed the demo, man! It’s a killer drive pedal 🤘

Oh wow! Thank you so much!

David Luna - Well, then you must be extra happy right now, brah 👍

Thank you so much! Really honored to hear you like the tunes so much 😊🙏

Bein modest

Thanks, man!

Happy you enjoyed the demo, man. At that price point, this pedal should tempt a lot of people 😊

Extremely kind of you to say! Plumes and Dispatch Master are killer together. Those two pedals are the essence of all killer, no filler

Cheers, man! Well, you actually don't have to look at the DM settings at all, because it sounds phenomenal no matter how you set the knobs ☺👍

Morten is always a treat for the ears and the soul ❤🙏

Well, I've been on vacation. Good to be back! Happy you enjoyed the demo.

Apparently the only synth style I have in me 😂 Happy you enjoyed the demo!

Thank you! It's a killer drive pedal

You definitely can't go wrong with Plumes. Happy you liked the demo and found it helpful.

Thank you very very much 🙏

Thanks, man! I freaking love Mastodon!

You definitely need this one ;)

Ja da! Gør det. Det er 100% en nobrainer i min verden. Prisen er mere end rigtig og lyden er helt rigtig. Win win situation 😊

Well, luckily it's actually a fairly affordable channel. So it won't make as big a financial dent usually associated with EQD pedals ☺ It's a killer pedal, dude!

Oh yeah, it's really neat into fuzz. Makes the heavy HEAVY!

Cheers! I love GIAA

Thank you very much 😊🙏 The Jennings Navigator is in Drop D. The Jazzmaster is in CGCEGD 👍

Can't go wrong with any EQD drive. They just make killer stuff

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... so steal away, my friend 😊 Means a lot that you enjoyed the tones and the tunes.

@@thepedalzone sounds kind of like Biffy Clyro, i like it man

This would definitely be the one. It's a Tubescreamer for people who don't like Tubescreamers 😊

It's just me 😊Just a Danish dude with too many pedals and a camera. I'm really happy you like the tones and tunes. Means a lot to me. I don't have any solo music out though. I leave my creativity here on this channel. Again, thank you for the kind words. Means the world to me ❤🙏

@@thepedalzone really wonderful stuff, man.

@@thepedalzone yes great playing! You sold me the pedal more than the pedal itself! Gotta get it this afternoon! Great work!

Thank you so much! No, my Jazzmaster is 100% stock. It's just a great guitar 😊

Really honored to hear you liked the video and that it inspired you to pick up a Plumes. Really great drive pedal. If you're referring to the drum machine app in the synth example, then it's just the beat sequencer in Garageband for iOS

@@thepedalzone thank you very much! Yes the drum machine app! And I have to say thé riffs you play on this vidéo are awesome, exactly thé kind of music I play myself so thé vidéo was really helpful!

Thanks, man! Really honored to hear you enjoyed it so much 😊🙏 Means a lot. The settings are shown in the video. Did you notice?? Otherwise it’s Mode 3, Gain at 12 o’clock, Level at 10 o’clock and Tone at 3 o’clock. But remember that all of that is subject to change, since your rig is probably not identical to mine. But Mode 3 and Gain at 12. Then you can set level and tone to taste 😊👌

Thank you so much!!!

That actually reminded me. I took at look and looks like your running the deluxe reverb. I am running the twin reverb 65 reissue. Not sure how familiar you are with the amp but settings are similar to the deluxe. I’m curious where you would set knobs to get a similar tone and feel to what you played during that part on the twin.

Sure, Plumes can do transparent boost/drive in Mode2 👍

I'm stoked to hear you like Plumes. It is definitely the most beastly Tubescreamer-inspired pedal I've ever played as well 👍

I tried it at EQD Day a few weeks ago, and they sound really good together.

Plumes into Westwood is an awesome combo. Westwood has a much flatter mid response, hence Plumes can really help push your riffs or solos through the mix when needed. Or you can also stack their vastly different gain characteristics (Westwood being tighter and more grainy, and Plumes being a bit more lose and smooth), and get a new killer saturated tone.

Haha! Nice one! Well imagine Aqueduct into Plumes on synths! There you have the perfect old-school tape sound. Aqueduct in Random mode for tape warble and Plumes in mode 1 for gritty pre-amp sounds. Lo-Fi heaven awaits 😊

Thanks! It’s just a 100% stock Squier J.Mascis Jazzmaster. You can find all the specs on Fender’s website. I have no clue what pots or pickups it’s outfitted with 😊

Cheers! Love that guitar 🎸

It sure does! Happy you enjoyed the demo 🙏 The drum machine is simply the beat sequencer in GarageBand for iOS.

@@thepedalzone didn't even know that existed lol thanks man!

I have the grey channel, and there is no tone knob, but volume and distortion level for each side, and each side has 3 clipping options though the middle on each side is a their "clean" mode. The other clipping modes consist of germanium, LED, FET, and I cant remember the other one

@@matthewlogan7587 that's clear, I got it too. What I'm wondering is how different they sound..

Not really sure, I think a while ago I heard Jamie say something about how the grey channel was based off a DOD 250 and the Plumes of course is based off the TS, but maybe some of the clipping options are similar?

Thanks, man! Happy you enjoyed that. It was a fun riff to make. Plumes and Gray Channel are two completely different beasts. Gray Channel is based on the DOD 250, and simply offers versions of that circuit with different clipping diodes. It's a nice drive/fuzz pedal that quickly lets you switch between two different sounds. It can go from clean boost to straight up sustaining fuzz depending on what mode you choose. You don't get any tone controls though. So you have to be into the core sound of the different clipping modes. Plumes is based on the Ibanez 808 Tubescreamer, but sports radical component and internal voltage changes, which actually removes it quite a bit from the TS world. It has way more low-end response and high-end clarity, which make the classic TS mid-hum less intrusive and makes the pedal feel more "transparent". On top of that you have 3 different modes, which sports different clipping diodes, for vastly different sounds (from clean boost and all the way to punchy higher gain tones). Plumes also has a smoother gain structure whereas the Gray Channel is a bit more "hairy" and raspy. So it all comes down to the sounds and features you need.

@@thepedalzone thanks a lot for the detailed answer

Not stupid at all. Plumes is super versatile, and contains a ton of tonal flavors and nuances. You can easily have two on your board to cover low and higher gain purposes.

I believe it's in CGCFCE

I'm pretty sure it's all stock besides the tolex.

Thanks for the reply! Hear a lot of people say you gotta snip that bright cap but you are convincing me otherwise!

Sure! That’s a great idea 😊👍

👏🏻

Happy you enjoyed the demo, man. Highly recommend you go for Plumes. I think it's a nobrainer at its current price point.

@@thepedalzone I probably will at some point.. I'm waiting for an Oceans 11 in the mail. That should keep me busy for now.

I'm often in alt tunings, that's for sure. In this demo, my Jennings Navigator is in Drop-D and my Squier Jazzmaster is in CGCFCE. I also use DADGAD and DAEAC#D a lot.
