One of my students brought me this pedal after a SKIPKNOT show where he chatted with the Mighty Mick Thompson who uses this and recommends this pedal and I love it Best demo vid.. Good job bro RnR
Well it happened again ... I watched a Kyle Bull video and now I own a new pedal lol. Great demo/video, thanks! Since it doesn't cut the lows so much, this pedal is good for boosting distortion pedals (into front of clean amp). In my experience, distortion pedals are generally just a tad bit little thinner sounding than actual amp distortion. IMO. 👍
Solid video man. One thing I would suggest for future videos is including some 7 string or just lower tuned stuff. I've tend to have found tones that work in standard or around there don't always work the lower you go. Just something to consider. Keep up the good work. Your reviews are really no nonsense and to the point and I appreciate that
Thanks man! Really appreciate it. I'm going to start incorporating some drop C riffs in my upcoming videos for this purpose, but most will remain E Standard
Come on brah let our man live every other TH-camr does 7 string down tuned djent let this man be the unique thrash/hardcore lord he was born to be lmao
I will say there was one vid awhile ago and he pulled out the 7 string and that was pretty cool! If you were looking to cover a wide spectrum of tunings that would appeal to a general "wheelhouse" of metal players (if it were me) i 'd do standard, drop C then either b standard on 7 or drop A on 7😈😈
Have you tried the Palisades by Earthquaker? It's supposed to have the capability of the Plumes, Dunes, etc built into it. Where the Plumes has 3 "voices" the Palisades has 6, as well as 5 different bandwidth options which affect the tightness/gain/low mid cut. It has an alternate boost, a bright switch etc. You should give one a try if you haven't already.
I love plumes! But naturally I had a more aggressive version (Plush Box) made with modified output signal and similar knobs but, they achieve more creamy mids and top end bite in the EQ spectrum. Gotta love being a Tone Freak! Lol great video KB!
Really enjoy this pedal for its tweakability above and beyond the TS808/tube screamer style pedals.Seem to use it mostly in the open middle toggle setting, but use different toggle/gain settings for different amps. Tend to still gravitate toward the Tubescreamer for its simplicity. Surprised this pedal is 99$. I really dig Earthquaker pedals, probably have 9-10 different ones.
@@belligerentamateur Totally agree. I’m in Ky, so their Ohio pedal center isn’t that far. We have similar taste, amount, and types of amps/cabs just different styles of music. Keep rocking on and building ur channel.
I basically quit using my 808 once I got the plumes. I sometimes use the 808 for Les Paul’s, due to to the low end…but everything else I like the Plumes
Tube Screamers have SYMMETRICAL clipping. SD-1 has ASYMMETRICAL clipping. I think what Mode 3 has in common with Tube Screamers is not the clipping asymmetry but instead is the choice of Silicon Diodes for clipping vs the LED clipping in Mode 1.
I own and love the Plumes, but IMO the emphasis put on it being a TS is possibly a marketing blunder. It has a freakish amount of output and note clarity which makes its a killer lead boost. I think the bright/ gritty character adds some interesting complexity to my high gain tone, and lots of bark and bite as a clean boost. It doesnt really do the tight metal boost thing though, and it doesnt do the SRV/Mayer thing either... basically the two things people expect a from a TS.
Been using my OD 808 for years with my Engl Powerball but then got a Stealth 50 watt. I tried a different option with the Plumes. Needless to say i think the Plumes is better and more low end. The OD808 was just too dry and the tone knob is completely useless. So many options with this Plumes....! I think its a keeper.
@@rubenalonsoviguerassalazar1539 BAh, thats a bunch of bunk. No it doesnt cut alot of bass.....I went back and forth with Plumes to 808 and no difference with bass....so many sales jobs going on here. Buy them both and take one back is all i can say. Plumes was just not for me.......808 is way better to me.
Gain should be off and level knob should match the clock setting that your amp is dialed to. ie amps gain is set at 1 o clock the level on your od/ts pedal should be at 1 o clock. Itd be nice to see other than diming a knob which only really works for older low gain amps.
Sorry dude, but running an overdrive the way you like to run it is not the only way. There are no "rules" to this. I just didn't like this particular overdrive.
I just got a Plumes Dec. 2021 and the light isn't overly bright. I know the overly bright ones, as I have a Rockboard diffuser on my EQD Grand Orbiter, which is eye piercing. The Plumes is a nice properly luminated yellow LED now though.

Good job bro

I love this pedal, haven’t touched my OD808 since getting it!
Nice!
Combine them!

Hardcore always sounds more hardcore in drop tuning! As for thrash and crossover thrash that typically falls into standard tuning & half step down!

For sure, stellar value considering the options and price tag for being USA made! Hard to beat.

Fuck yeah man I love watching Lat Damon shred 💪🏻 🏋️♂️
Sounds amazing!
The pedal pop is driving me nuts.. Always wondered why some pedals pop and some dont when you engage them
Design of the switch
Nice reminds me of the Friedman Golden Pearl, but for me a Maxon 808 is the gold standard. keep em coming :)
Mode 2 adds a little bit of this so called Swedish chain saw tone.
This is a righteous demo!

Love that guitar . What year is that. I been almost getting this pedal for awhile maybe I’ll pull the trigger now
It's a 91! Cool pedal, for sure. Great options, just wish there was an option to cut the lows a bit more.

Have you compared plumes with 808x? The 808 normal cut a lot of bass. Plumes keep low end?

Take my like Matt 😜 great work.
remind me of matt damon

Agree totally id just like to see that option presented.
And ultimately its your channel and your channel is where i come to hear no post production which aggravated me to no end. Looooove you! Hahaha
Sounds really tight
Hi. Which od keep a lot of defined low end in a dual rectifier? I’m looking for od that not cut bass excessively.
MXR M77 is a pretty cheap good OD pedal where you can dial in the lows
Idea: Do an ultimate Marshall shootout Friedman v splawn v ciera v stock with mods v whatever else ya got
That's a day killer but one I'd LOVE to do! Haha
@@belligerentamateur a big request i know, we appreciate all you do bro! Just pocket it is all I ask 🤗
can you try out the pal 800 gold?
Not sure what that is!
i bought it, tried it, and I'm taking back. the frequencies aren't my cup of tea.
For those who wanna dim the light on that great pedal : th-cam.com/video/Np9-2N7CxtE/w-d-xo.html

@@KipCount Thank you very much for the update .
i had that turd pedal for about 2 days lol. it's a funky fucker
I disagree with all of his tone choices it's amazing im not trying to either
