The genius of this pedal is that you made it affordable. Everyone loves your pedals but no one can afford them. Now there is at least one accessible pedal from you guys that is very usable.

This pedal has solved my hate/love relationship with ts-like pedal. I love the mid hump but hate the lack of high frequencies. I was about to give up and then I read of this pedal. Affordable price, last chance. Well, WOW. Thank you guys. You created a monster. Another keeper after the beloved Ghost Echo.

This pedal is two things for me...a tube screamer for people who don’t like tube screamers (as is mentioned here) and an ocd for people who don’t like the ocd. I fall into that second category. I’ve always liked the *concept* of the ocd but I’ve just never gotten along with it. They go from “not quite enough gain” to “too much gain” almost immediately and I’ve always had a problem getting the midrange I like. This pedal (specifically in sym LED mode) has a very similar vibe to the ocd but allows for a lot more nuance, control and midrange character. Really...it’s almost a perfect crash landing between the the ts and the ocd. That and it pairs beautifully with my palisades and prince/king of tone drives...

My Plumes showed up today! Where has this thing been all my life?! Replaced my old ts9 and the difference is night and day! Thanks EQD! 🤘🤘

Hey guys, I live about 15 min. from your headquarters, and I was able to attend the EarthQuaker fest over the summer. While there, I managed to snag one of these in the orange and blue color scheme, and I can safely say that it has earned its spot on my pedalboard, and has quickly become my favorite drive for its dynamic breadth of tones. Please never stop, and continue letting the world know what Akron has to offer!

I picked up the Plumes last week was a bit skeptical because of the low price so I tried it out at the music store and was like blown away because it is a good sounding pedal and it's not noisy and it sound good with other drive pedals you guys nailed this pedal I'am a fan for life great job EQD!!!

I wish Cory played on every YouTube pedal demonstration. Excellent style.

P.s. I bought a Plumes off the back of this video. Mode 2, gain at 11 o'clock and the tone rolled down low gives the most beautiful 'clean' tone.

I bought this pedal this week. One of the really useful features that you didn't mention is the flexi switch. Momentary and latch switch in one. Very good switch, very useful, especially when using the pedal as boost (mode 2).

[whiskybravo]

Mine came in the mail today. It’s the best tubescreamer pedal for the money. As a tubescreamer fan and owner of multiple tubescreamers including the Nu tube model, I can’t recommend the Plumes enough. All three modes are full of tone and usable by anyone in any setting.

[Straightedge]

love my plumes! i play mathcore and this was a great addition to really boost my PRS ARCHON and Peavey 6534+! thank you so much for detaling this awesome pedal!

[svartsjokolade]

Mine should arrive in a couple of days, can't wait! The riff at 4:19 made me think of Elliott Smith.

[legitghost]

Lowkey this is one the best pedal review I've seen on youtube. Will buy the earthquaker asap!

[mojo]

Great pedal, picked one up at Earthquaker day. Very impressed with how well the pedal cuts through. It kicked the Palisades off my board. Well done Mr. Stillman! Price is great too!

[Pickwick]

As for the Afterneath Cory has a real talent to make the creative aspects shine over the technical aspects

[carolinehaf]

Amazing demo, really appreciate all the styles of play including dirt and cleans and in between. Will be my first earthwuaker pedal to pair with my first jazzmaster arriving this week!

[richnewman]

Mode 2 with about 5% gain is now my 'always on' setting/pedal. Great for clean finger picking, light gain when strumming full chords, and a clean(ish) boost when I add a distortion pedal. Fantastic!

[Agent]

I just got a plumes today, the dynamics are awesome.

[burresseffects]

I sure wish more people would show the Bows more love. It was the first EQDevice I tried and I still think it's badass.

[sharkdawg]

Great demo, finally someone not just doing pentatonic scales on each mode
