The EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Jr MOSFET Mod is a limited edition overdrive pedal for electric guitar that captures the sonic versatility of the original Plumes in a more compact format, incorporating a new MOSFET saturation option. Designed to deliver a dynamic response and a character inspired by tube amplifiers, it features three operating modes that allow for everything from a clean boost to saturated sounds with greater body, definition, and harmonic richness. Its MOSFET clipping circuit provides an open and expressive sound, with enhanced bass presence and a response reminiscent of a modern tube amplifier pushed to high gain levels.
The Plumes Jr MOSFET Mod includes a three-position selector that allows you to choose between different types of saturation. Mode L uses symmetrical clipping via LED diodes, providing a crunchy, compressed sound with a prominent midrange presence, particularly interesting for defined riffs and rock sounds. Mode N eliminates the clipping diodes and uses the operational amplifier's gain to function as a clean boost, allowing you to enhance the guitar signal or push the input of an amplifier toward greater saturation. Meanwhile, the new mode M replaces the original Plumes' asymmetrical silicon clipping with a MOSFET circuit that offers a smoother, more open saturation rich in harmonics, with reinforced bass and a dynamic response particularly suited for powerful sounds.
Its operation is simple and intuitive thanks to the Level, Gain, and Tone controls, which allow you to adjust the output volume, the amount of saturation, and the tonal character of the effect. The Tone control provides greater bass presence when turned to the left, a more mid-focused character in intermediate positions, and a brighter response to the right. Its compact construction facilitates integration into pedalboards with limited space, while the True Bypass mechanical system ensures the direct signal is maintained when the effect is off. It operates on standard 9 V DC power with a negative center, consuming 25 mA. Made by EarthQuaker Devices in Akron, Ohio, the Plumes Jr MOSFET Mod is an especially interesting option for guitarists seeking a versatile overdrive with different saturation characters and a particularly dynamic response.
