#Plumes #EarthQuakerDevices #MesaBoogie
I’m gonna make a bold claim: despite the legacy of the classic TS circuit, I think the Plumes has what it takes to become the modern “gold standard” when it comes to overdrive. I’m seeing it everywhere and I’ve never heard someone get a bad sound out of it. And that includes using it on bass. It’s. That. Good.
Collin Putney helps when unlike many other boutique builders, this pedal is only $99 new.
Agreed. I have one too, and it really is that good.
It's a better stand-alone overdrive than a stock TS and way more versatile for sure. For the price it's also a way better deal than a standard Ibanez TS808 or Maxon OD808 at the moment, at least where I live.
Using it as a booster for metal though (which is realistically speaking almost the main purpose of tubescreamers nowaday), the extra modes hardly make a difference, the added bass response won't give you as much tightness and the more open top end coupled with the fact that the tone control mainly affects bass response may be undesirable to some players. Great if you want a booster that doesn't cut your bass or a more natural sounding TS tone.
@@MrJesusCrisp The middle, removed diode mode could probably get you more boost as you can turn up the gain and still not clip the pedal. But other than that, there isn't much merit to using a highly modified tube screamer as just a boost, any TS will do largely the same thing. Anyone looking for a different type of high gain boost, I definitely recommend trying a klon style pedal set similar to how you'd set a tubescreamer for that kind of boost.
All od:s sound the same though
Buc-ee's shirt. This man has been to Texas.
Texas or Alabama one.
Best beef jerky ever.
@@ph0kused that's made from beavers
All pedals should be $99.. And this good. I have one I want two more.
15 years ago, you could get most pedals for $39... some were really expensive at $99.... in 2021 thats $99 is considered a bargain... go figure...
@@ernestbuckley8671 Yes. Inflation is such a finnicky thing
@@Izzy1782 lol... yes it is, especially when salaries don’t match...
@@Izzy1782 it’s higher than the rate of inflation, though. People are just willing to spend more now.
Appreciate that Buc-ee's flex! Let me know if you need any jerky or beaver nugs.
I was at Earthquaker day when they released the Plumes last year. They had a special edition just for that day. It's the only TS style pedal I use now.
Rad demo! Chugged the shit out of it!
he really did though \m/
Ayy!
Ether Jamie, Karl or Corey def wrote this comment.
I plugged into one of these in a music store a couple of months ago. Within 15 seconds of hitting the first chord I had already decided to buy it. I fell in love with it instantly. I like it better than my OCD.
plumes into the ocd is pretty great tho
The Plumes is, IMO, the most versatile drive pedal made. It is excellent into a clean amp on its own, it stacks well with most other dirt pedals and it sounds great into an already overdriving amp. I bought one when they first came out because it was a new EQD release & I like EQD, but it was only $99. I was totally surprised at how great this pedal was. I'm on my 6th one because when I would jam with friends(ahh..the pre-COVID world) they would like mine so I would just give mine to them & order another. Did I mention they're only $99? I'm using a cool purple sparkle one on my board now. If you don't have one, you should get one. You won't be disappointed. If you hate the olive drab color, check some EQD dealers as they have a lot of custom color ones floating around.
I had one and sold it within a weak. Idk it didn't work with the 4+ amps and cabs I had. My bogner 101B couldn't save it either. Pretty disappointed since it was hyped to the moon and back
I literally was just wondering about this pedal. Thanks for posting this.
Also, shout-out for the buc-ee's shirt
I bought it today. It really is that good
Honestly outside of the classic tube screamer this is the best overdrive I've heard. Tone knob all the way to the left it keeps that low end in which sounded amazing. Reminded me of why I like the JB pick ups so much. Would love to hear this directly compared to me. Sparkles with the fishman. But I think your gold RS is the best sounding one.
I love this pedal so much that I bought two of them. One purple sparkle & one black sparkle. I use them on guitar & bass. They sound great to me.
So, on a schematic level it is really interesting to look at the Plumes compared to other screamer pedals. On the surface, they look similar, but there are a lot of changes to the circuit that are interesting. A lot of the changes also lead me to ask why no one before Jamie tried them. For example, the tone control is not that different, there's only an added capacitor, but it's such a simple addition it surprises me no one tried to prototype that on a breadboard.
I have the Earthquaker Devices Sunn O Life Pedal, and it's so much fun.. You can get the Plume sounds from it, and a lot of Doom , and Fuzz too.🤘.. I've been selling off all my gear unfortunately do to COVID19 , and it's the last pedal I have left. Not sure if Fluff has demoed it yet, but I would love to see him give it a go... Be safe everyone.. Horn's up.
Absolutely my fav pedal. Played it in the Neural granophyre sim. Became addicted. So much character and tone in this box for an absolutely criminally low price. Buy em up before they come to their senses.
I feel like for the past year all I’ve heard about is the Plumes lmao
Have you bought one?
@@kangaroofoot I haven’t, but I’m sure it’s a good pedal
Its a great one..
The plumes is the best pedal I have found in my 25 years of playing. Go get one, they are very well priced and sound killer!
Agreed. I actually called the company to tell them how good the pedal is.
Well just snagged one before the used market went insane. Sounds damn good! Can't wait to play it through my Rev G! Good shit man!
Just got mine last weekend and absolutely love it!

In terms of trying new takes on the classic TubeScreamer, I have recently got the Walrus Audio Warhorn and you should definitely check it out. It's a very nice overdrive.
I use this pedal (I'm a sax player) and I love it. It doesn't destroy my tone (but can if I want it to). Super versatile and really inexpensive for what you get.
You play your saxophone through a drive pedal?
@@forrestperkins6237 and a lot of others. This drive is the second-to-last pedal in my signal chain, right before my reverb/delay. If you want some examples of how drive pedals sound on saxophone, check out a band called Kneebody.
@@Bebopopotamus that's crazy man I learned something new
@@forrestperkins6237 even crazier, check out something called Intramic from a company called Viga Music Tools. Basically as close to a guitar pickup as a wind instrument can get. Makes playing through pedals we nicer.
Hell yeah!
Love me some earthquaker devices. I was in Akron a couple years back for thanksgiving and decided to ring them up. Super nice people, offered a tour and everything. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t make the timing work out with all the family obligations, etc.
Also, the palisades is one of the greatest tube screamer mods ever made...
There is not a bad sound in the Plumes, and it has a lot of sounds to find. Had one for about a year and it's a fast favorite.
I ordered a purple sparkle plumes just a bit ago, am pumped to try it out
sempre o top e excelente bom gosto e muita eloquência!
Salute to the only guitarist/youtuber that actually stands while playing.
ha ha ha
Buccee’s and EQD. It’s a good Saturday in Fluffsville, USA.
I have a super overdrive and was thinking about the tube screamer but I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about this plumes od. Watched a rig rundown with mick from slipknot and he swears by the plumes. For $99 it’s definitely worth a try.
I own only two pedals. One is a Keeley Caverns and the other is an EarthQuaker Plumes. Solid OD for the money!
sick demo , i love my plumes , i highly recommend their palisades as well
I bought it today. I won't be buying another o.d. pedal again. This thing is awesome. The guys from Akron (my old hometown Go Vikings!) really nailed this pedal. Just buy it.
Ordered mine 2 days ago. I got the black plumes on the way!!
Got one when they first came out and have been using it on both guitar and bass. You're correct on the price, I paid $126 CAD shipped ($99 USD). Easily competes with my more expensive, "boutique" drive pedals!
Isn’t it boutique too?
Love that Buc-ees shirt lol!! Gotta have those beaver nuggets.
That sounded pretty damn good!
Thanks for sharing. Sometimes I really love this pedal and other times it just gets turned off.
Every time I hear Rev D, I’m thinking oooh he’s gonna plug it into the Revv! Lol- cool little pedal!
I have one I don’t use it to push and tighten the tone but for boosting other pedals. Use it to push an op amp big muff
It's funny I legitimately ordered mine yesterday and it'll be here tomorrow lol.
That was pretty funny..
You have to try also the dunes pedal from Earthquaker devices. It's really good. It's also like the plumes but you have there more variety of sounds. Like you can go with a style in one of the high gain sounds. I can recommend you on that one. Its sounds great
I'm in love with my Dirty Little Secret, but am tempted to buy one of these...
How in the world do you get that attack on your guitar playing? It almost sounds like you cut off the first 30 ms of all your strums? Or is it your picking technique? Please share! 😍
Nothing will ever replace my Barber LTD but Plumes is great overdrive for sure. Defiantly a vast improvement over the standard TS.
Did you use the OD pedal when you did the tune mix? You mentioned and showed the OD pedal during the playthrough section but I am not sure when you did the very tasty tune mix. That will help me decide if I buy this (via the affiliate link of course) love the content! :)
EQD make some absolutely killer pedals !! Great customer service and company to deal with. The Space Spiral and The Dunes stay on my board. So many options....
Their pedals are some of the most musical pedals out there.
Great pedal... great price... this man is a great guitar player, but the plumes sounds this good in my guitar room as well....
I wonder if there is any benefit to having one in conjunction with my Palisades and Maxon 808.
I feel like not hearing about this pedal is definitely a bit, because how could you not at this point?
I haven't. 🤷♂️
Apparently, some people actually knew what you were talking about.
Acapulco Gold is also supercool hell all their pedals are cool as hell
The price and quality is unbeatable. Awesome company
Didn't know there was hype, I bought mine months ago and loooooove it 😋
I like it more than other tubescreamers I've had. I exchanged a TS-9 for my Plumes months ago. It's a far better pedal with significantly more head room. If you need one, get it. If not, what you have will probably do the trick. $100 for a pedal is nothing.
Hey fluffy! Can you do a demo of this with your 9 string please. With the evh stealth, and the jcm 800 if you have one still?
Always love seeing the Bucees shirt
Great toneage , 👍👍👍👍👍👍
what are the settings you are using at 2:46 to get that big beefy tone?
Compression and ore importantly, good technique for that style.
I use the Plumes as an always on pedal ,gives me an amazing clean tones and boosts other fuzz and overdrive pedals really well. Love it!!!!
There's something fun about unboxing new gear while watching Fluff review gear...
I have a TS9 from the early 80's on my board that I really love. would it make sense to pair it with the Plumes or would Plumes fit better completely replacing the TS?
I've read its more like an 808 but I haven't tried one myself to confirm.
Dont replace the TS.
I put my plumes after an LA lady overdrive by source audio and it’s like a match made in heaven. The weird thing is it actually sounds reeeeaaalllyyyy good through cheap tube amps. I plug them into my Behringer ac108 and it sounds like something off a zeppelin album. I feel bad saying it but I think I prefer playing through it over my fender hot rod or bassman.
I could've sworn you did a review of one of the Neural DSP plugins that has a virtual Plumes pedal you can use. Great pedal either way
Think rhe granophyre has it
as a relocated Texan ( Austin to Seattle), +1 for Bucees!
EQD stuff is for real man, I absolutely adore my Park Sound Fuzz
My favorite fuzz too!
I'm getting one of these. Interested in how they'll stack..
Ibanez TS mini still does the job for me @45 Euro used :)
Sounds perfect for Swat Kats intro 🤘
I fucking love Sweetwater man. I’m stationed overseas and I have nothing but quality and fast service whenever I order, great prices too💪🏽
I tried the plumes and for some reason didn’t like it, I’ll definitely have to give it another shot after watching this vid, also dope baritone obsessed shirt at the end of the vid
I find it to be way too bass heavy no matter where its set..
The Friedman golden pearl slays
Sick buccees shirt 🤘
Told you to review this company along time ago.
I regret selling my dual rec. I have a friedman be100 now and yet i still also want to have a dual rec again.
I want one but I already drive my 6505+ with a Boss OD-200 and feel like results will be too much the same.
Noice!
I'm curious but I love my Dunes.
Coooool
Can't believe you haven't tried one b4
me 2
Traditionally I’m not a fan of fuzz but I could see myself buying this. Thx for the demo🤘👍
sounds like juicy goodness cool
Do they sell them at Buc-ee's?
Jamie is the man!
I love mine.
Yo nice BUCEES SHIRT !
Nice Bucee’s rep
$100 pedals always seem too end up being the good ones.
Bought it as soon as I heard it.
Buc-eeeeeeeeeereees 👍🏽👍🏽
A tube screamer is a tube screamer is a tube screamer. -Gertrude Stein
I believe this pedal made its way into a Neural DSP plugin as well! I think it was the Omega one?
Correct.
Mayza-Boogie!
Best pedal company out
Can’t beat it for that price. Modern SD-1
you've been wearing that buc-ees shirt a suspicious amount recently.
Fluff still loves me.
I usually hate hypes. But this pedal is the real deal. From crunch tones to light overdrive to full blown searing leads. It can be used for anything.
Personally i use mine on mode 3 as a tube screamer. Mode 2 to add saturation to leads and mode 1 for crunchy rifss.
It's on nearly every guitar track I prosuce
BUCCEES😍
This plumes in front of my buddha superdrive 18 = tone heaven
If I had one complaint, the LED is extremely bright. Very minor detail.
Put a piece of electrical tape over it lol
@@blazer6248 not electrical tape. Then you can't tell if it's on. Just use one or two layers of masking tape. It's semi transparent. Still visible, but toned down to your liking.
@@ryans9029 ironically that's what I did on a couple of mine with blindingly bright LEDs 👍
Sounds great though in the dirty channel
Buc-ee’s!
Great Pedal. I hate the bright white led light... GOING BLIND!!!
