    EarthQuaker Devices Blumes Small Signal Shredder Overdrive Pedal for Bass (Water Blue)

    • Power: It utilizes internal bipolar power, which gives you more dynamics and all the headroom you could ever desire. The result is a three-dimensional tone with added clarity that pushes a nice tube amp over the edge
    • Reinvented Bass Overdrive: The EarthQuaker Devices Blumes is an all-analog tri-mode soft-clipping bass overdrive that embodies characters of the Plumes Small Signal Shredder, while offering double the gain and a deeper bass response
    • Clipping Mode 1: Mode 1 of the Blumes is a symmetrical LED clipping that utilizes a pair of light-emitting diodes. This is the crunchiest setting the Blumes has to offer. This signal is less compressed and way more open with tons of output

    The EarthQuaker Devices Blumes is an all-analog tri-mode
    soft-clipping bass overdrive that carries the torch of the classic screamer
    circuit but has a voice all its own. While embodying most of the
    characteristics and features of the beloved Plumes Small Signal Shredder, this
    modified circuit has double the gain and a deeper bass response to retain all
    the low ends. It utilizes internal bipolar power, which gives you more dynamics
    and all the headroom you could ever desire. The result is a three-dimensional
    tone with added clarity that pushes a nice tube amp over the edge.

    Design Notes

    As a bass player, EarthQuaker understands that you often feel neglected within
    the hierarchy of band constructs, even though you hold down the rhythmic
    foundation and make everyone sound better. So thats why this marvelous yellow
    box was created specifically for you. But fear not, 6-stringers, this is also
    the perfect pedal for all of your deep overdrive needs, especially you
    drop-tuned masters. This all-analog tri-mode overdrive with soft clipping
    carries the torch of the classic screamer circuit but has a voice all its own.
    While embodying most of the kick-ass characteristics and features of the
    Plumes, EarthQuaker Devices went ahead and modified this circuit with double
    the gain and a deeper bass response to retain the entire low end. At lower gain
    settings, youll get all of the crunchy tones you love about the original, but
    once you get above noon on the Gain control, thats where the similarities
    stop. Get ready to shake some walls and field some angry calls from your
    neighbors (just send them to voicemail).

    Clipping Options

    And much like the Plumes, this pedal offers three different clipping options
    for your desired low-end face melting needs. Mode 1 is a symmetrical LED
    clipping that utilizes a pair of light-emitting diodes. This is the crunchiest
    setting the Blumes has to offer. This signal is less compressed and way more
    open with tons of output for when you really want to go wild. Mode 2 is a clean
    pure OpAmp gain boost mode. This eliminates the soft clipping diodes and leaves
    you with a straight OpAmp drive. This will be the loudest output with the
    fullest frequency response and can be used as a clean boost when the Gain
    control is set below 11 Oclock. Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode
    arrangement similar to the stock screamer but with more output and clean
    clarity, which provides a more transparent tone. Using this mode gives a warmer
    low-end response and lower output. Its fuzzier with half the output and is the
    most compressed. If you like the fuzzy ends of distortion with a clean
    undertone, youll love this setting. EarthQuaker guarantees it.
