At The Farm, we don’t rely on bland manufacturer stock photos – we physically photograph one of each model to show a better representation of the product. Some minor details like wood grain and color finish can, and may vary slightly from the pictures below.
Plumes is an overdrive based around that classically overdone tube-like circuit you all know, and amps crave. While this particular circuit has been done to death, at EarthQuaker Devices brand of special effects pedals, they think the Plumes offers an original take on the old, tired dead horse everyone loves to beat on. You can’t get enough of it, so they are giving you some more.
For starters, they’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. EarthQuaker powers this OpAmp by taking the 9v input and internally converting it to +/- 9v to give it more headroom. The end result is a more three-dimensional tone with added clarity that really pushes a nice tube amp over the edge.
