EarthQuaker Devices - Plumes Jr MOSFET Mod Limited Edition Small Signal Shredder

Plumes® Jr MOSFET Mod Limited Edition Small Signal Shredder offers a new twist on our original Plumes® Small Signal Shredder housed in a pedalboard-friendly junior sized enclosure. Like the original, this compact pedal offers tube-like overdrive with three distinct clipping voices, with a key distinction. The third clipping mode (labeled “M”) has been swapped with a new MOSFET clipping mode that produces a harmonically rich, focused overdrive with enhanced low end and a dynamic response similar to a modern high-gain tube amp.

Mode L

Symmetrical clipping utilizing a pair of light-emitting diodes. This is the crunchiest setting the Plumes has to offer. 

Mode N

Clean boost mode. This eliminates the soft-clipping diodes altogether and leaves you with a straight-up OpAmp drive. This is perfect for pushing your clean tone out in front or driving the preamp of an already overdriven amp into tasteful breakup territory.

Mode M

We’ve swapped out the asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement that was similar to what you’d find in a stock screamer, and replaced it with a MOSFET clipping mode. This produces a commanding, open, and smooth overdrive that’s rich in harmonics and delivers an overdriven bite consistent with the sound of a cranked tube amp.

Controls

Clipping Modes (3-Way Toggle):


L: Symmetrical LED clipping - Crunchy, compressed, mid-focused, and articulate.

N: No clipping - Wide open OpAmp drive for clean boost. 

M: MOSFET Mod clipping - Harmonically rich and focused with more low end that is dynamically similar to a modern high gain tube amp.

Level: This controls the output volume.

Gain: This controls the amount of drive.


Tone: More bass to the left, more middles in the middle and more treble to the right.
