Pedals and Effects: Plumes by EarthQuaker Devices

You want something cool for the summer? Start feeling the vibes and blow some smoke rings with the Plumes overdrive from EarthQuaker Devices! The Plumes is the latest entry in the EarthQuaker Devices journey with overdrives. The Plumes is more low gain “tube screamer-esque,” and with three different clipping modes you will have one of the sounding tones on the block. The really dope thing about the Plumes, is that no matter what kind of amp you’re playing out of, you will have a consistently great tone!

Hey Juan, get well soon man...

[@churchianity]

Juan with the FANSERVICE! I wake up in a cold sweat regularly thinking about what gear went into Jenny Death/Death Grips in general. Thanks for the juicy tidbit.

[@njlwag]

Been waiting for this video. My favorite channel to feature pedals, especially dirt pedals.

[@johnhatt6145]

Patreon is a great idea!! Valuable and thorough reviews from musicians I love - your among my favorite guitarists nick!! Make sure to do it right and do plenty of giveaways. Even silly things like promotional stuff for your show! The people love that shit!!

[@lorner]

oh ya, that pedal on bass is killer! Love it, want it! Thanks for another great demo guys

[@pizzaROX]

Love Juan's energy 💜

[@subclangor]

I appreciate that Juan's pedal settings were dimed in the first sounds. That's what I'm here for! Thanks!

[@devilsdoorbell]

I was slobbering over this pedal well into July. Your videos always make the difference beyond other demos or reviews. Time for me to run, don't walk, to the store to get one.

[@HarmonyxRuLz]

I’ll pay for these videos, you guys need to keep this up!

[@tedwasanasan3805]

I just hope they make some cool pedals this year so I can see you guys do this again. I miss you guys

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Sounds great guys!

[@gabet3754]

That bass sounds so dirty and thick. I love it

[@jacksonstein8866]

this pedal sounds like the ssx on tour soundtrack in the best of ways

[@TheGreenKingdom]

Nice demo fellas. Was thinking of getting a Tube Screamer recently, but now I feel like I need Earthquaker's version. They can do no wrong...

[@Skizzzzzyyyy]

Me everyday: Juan: "I don't even know if I'm playing the right key"

[@GOMPP]

A Patreon page would definitely be a great idea. Weekly or monthly giveaways would give greater incentive for donations. each donation is one entry to the giveaway. I'd totally be up for donating and helping you guys out

[@zachboyle8755]

Definitely down for the patreon thing or donating to get an A/C for you guys! My favorite pedal show! More videos!

[@mikeroadblock]

That first part was the best I’ve heard your bass.

[@heliotr0pic965]

Juan's reaction alone sold me on this pedal

[@stevencass7451]

100% would send cash for AC ! You guys are rad . Great content for years . Weird and informative always !

[@Mattbuchanan71]

How come you maniacs never jam together on demos?

[@henrywesson1599]

[@enkiea8322]

Nick getting his chops up. We see you. Btw, I'd chip in for that A/C if they doubled content and/or did a few non-sponsored, OG style vids. Put me down for at least a fiver.

[@malice2194]

love the jesus lizard enthusiasm lol. david sims is a god

[@slavojdyrdek]

Speaking of Earthquaker, did y'all manage to get your hands on the Life Pedal?

[@RawfflesMyWaffles]

Patreon is def the way to go and i could see you guys doing some cool giveaway/promotion stuff for pedals and effects if you got one. That being said, i’ve never used patreon myself. I got like $25-$50 on an AC for you dudes though 👊🏻

[@thecrob19]

I can do 1$ per month, but it's something! keep it up, love the videos!

[@thinkythinkypanic882]

ughhhhhhh i love that jesus lizard song so much

[@alphanumeric1529]

I don't have enough money to buy even one of the pedals featured on your show, even this one. Can't buy you an AC, homies. But, if you need leather goods, hit us up.

[@elambassist]

Blumes video!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💜💜💜💜

[@HenricWallmark]

When’s your best of 2019 coming out? Cheers!

[@sukurimi]

Patreon would be sick! I'd totally donate. I feel like you guys could come up with pretty dope rewards too!

[@bradley8913]

At 7:56 when you said here is your dry signal and strummed, the guitar sounded pretty good, and the second you hit the Plumes switch, the bottom dropped out and it sounded like hell.

[@mckinleyrikel]

Let’s see that Patreon! I’m on board!

[@scubbarookie]

You guys deserve an air conditioner!

[@terrygoss]

Melt for my pleasure, damn you! :P

[@andrewjordan9025]

[@sleepisoptional]

[@SwirlyWhirlyXYZ]

Bass drive is sick, get well soon

[@damian.m.guitar]

How do you guys not have a Patreon yet? I'm super down to throw my money at you.

[@guitarguy07]

I just sold some shit so I could buy TWO of these badass boxes. It is the best OD I've ever heard.

[@DurvalLacerda]

Can it pass as a "transparent" overdrive with the right config?

[@jimmyhoffa2530]

Thats why I go to Illinois or Michigan to purchase my herb

[@Creed_fan_69]

SPACE TRUCKIN’!

[@no.mans.guy.]

"I used the palisades on the jenny death record" got me so giddy

[@oterovidal2484]

Is this pedal low gain/transparent or something?

[@VintageDannyVintage]

Bang

[@lordundhimself1310]

Damn, this pedal sings with a Jazz bass

[@26ruben1]

Dude $99 bucks ... I'm getting one!!!!!!!

[@lolobuggah2670]

What kind of guitar is that green and white one? It sounds freaking huge!

[@laundry1799]

Courtney love signature squire

[@SILENTSHOT2400]

Shout out Idaho

[@jacobbeck6043]

what is that guitar?

[@mattgilbert7347]

Might be a semi-active tone control, like the Xotic RC/AC/BB bass & treble controls. Not precisely Baxandall EQ more like "Bax-and-some" You got that AC yet? I'll chip in if you have Patreon.

[@estebangalindo7051]

Start a patreon! I would do a few bucks a month. Love you dudes.

[@craigswensen434]

Aren't you on tour with Mr Manson?

[@eph_kni]

Thanks for the melt. Post your Venmo and I’ll donate to your new AC

[@jensk4140]

Sounds like early Nirvana, great pedal.

[@angels3325]

You guys were fucking on today!

[@dantelamusta]

✝️ 🦎!!!! Very Underrated band! Everyone check out Daughters! Much love Pedals and Effects! Plumes! Bass..... yes!

[@dantelamusta]

FUCKSVILLE absolutely! It was my second time seeing them! First time was when Hell Songs came out on the Coalesce tour.

[@vassili87]

Which mode is similar to a Rat?

[@Apopheniomind]

Juan=Chespirito

[@icanrawrtooMC]

sounds at the start i like it :-)

[@haxenheimer9707]

Patreon? Absolutely. Maybe top tier could be you fly the supporter out to you guys in LA and they can fan you some air with little pedals&effects paper fans. You know, until you got the money for the ac(also they don't get to keep the fans, shit's expensive)

[@thefunkynotes8956]

Yo, Home Slice, Ohio legalized for medicinal back in 2016. Send me that pedal! 😃

[@oysterpig]

if you double your output, i got $50 for the AC

[@iancpowell]

guys it is legal in Akron...

[@Leprechaun7227]

fuck yeah would i help you get an ac unit your channel is my fav on youtube

[@dasein3317]

2:07

[@TheSquareOnes]

Sounds great on guitar but that tone was really something else on the bass, absolutely perfect amount of dirt. Love the Jesus Lizard reference too, not a name that gets dropped as often as it should.

[@fieserfactsack9635]

yeah and you dont get any lows, exactly what you dont want for bass.

[@JoseSilva-kb8ug]

Start make livestreams

[@Jjfabbonbass]

Start a Patreon! I’ll contribute! Keep cool!

[@assemblyofnoorder4567]

He is not playing that Jesus Lizard song in the right key.

[@noname-ng6sj]

You're not commeting using your brain.

[@Raro404]

The volume/low end drop on bass on the third clipping option is really concerning. I just ordered one of these yesterday and I’m just watching this video now. Not very impressed with what I’m hearing on this video but I guess I won’t know for sure until I play it with my band. But it’s sounding like it’s not a very bass friendly pedal so far.

[@Raro404]

After playing with it for a couple weeks, I can confidently say this is absolutely NOT a bass friendly pedal. There is way too much low end loss on modes 1 and 3 to be usable in a band context. The only usable option is the “clean boost” option 2. Basically I run it to push my amp’s preamp section just after breakup by setting the gain at around 1 and the volume around 9 (slightly louder than the clean signal). I retain my low end pretty well and I get a nice overdriven tube sound from my SVT without the ridiculous volume. This setup works really well for bass if you’re interested in using this as a low-medium gain overdrive. However as a dedicated overdrive for your bass, I would steer clear away.

[@fieserfactsack9635]

@@Raro404 i agree, same situation as you. Why the fuck did they market this as a bass pedal? What a scam.

[@drippinglass]

Where’s the Mueller shirt Nick?

[@ziggyziegler9823]

Geddum a damn silent AC

[@garrettmci6405]

Makes my frontman 65r s As loud as Marshall stacks. Im. Pissing off neighbors a mile aeay

[@987654321ck]

Just skip to 15:25 and repeat. All you need to know

[@ARawFueledLife]

I will donate 5 bones regardless of output.

[@arloross]

It's not a FERRARI, It's a FIAT...

[@kurth6595]

I've lost count of the amount of times I've watched the first minute and 11 seconds of this video.
