While embodying the key characteristics and features of the Plumes, EQD went ahead and modified this circuit with double the gain and a deeper bass response to retain all the low end. At lower gain settings, you'll get all of the crunchy tone you love about the original, but once you get above noon on the Gain control, that's where the similarities stop. This all-analogue tri-mode overdrive with soft clipping carries the torch of the classic screamer circuit but has a voice all its own. And thanks to its +/- power supply it utilizes bipolar power, you’ll get more dynamics, clarity, and all the headroom you could ever desire. The result is a more three-dimensional tone with added clarity that pushes a nice tube amp over the edge. And much like the Plumes, this pedal offers three different clipping options to meet all those low-end face melting needs. Modes Mode 1 is a symmetrical LED clipping that utilizes a pair of light-emitting diodes. This is the crunchiest setting the Blumes has to offer. This signal is less compressed and way more open with tons of output. Mode 2 is a clean pure OpAmp gain boost mode. This eliminates the soft clipping diodes and leaves you with a straight OpAmp drive. This will be the loudest output with the fullest frequency response and can be used as a clean boost when the Gain control is set below 11 o’clock. Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement like the stock screamer but with more output and clean clarity, which provides a more transparent tone. Using this mode gives a warmer low-end response and lower output. It’s fuzzier with half the output and is the most compressed. Each Blumes pedal is forged in the deepest, lowest caverns of Akron, Ohio, USA.
