The EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Jr MOSFET Mod takes the much-loved Plumes overdrive platform and distils it into a compact, pedalboard-friendly box with a fresh MOSFET clipping voice. You get the same open, tube-like drive character, masses of headroom and clarity, but with a tighter, more immediate response that excels at everything from edge-of-breakup boost through to small-signal shred. Built around an all-analogue circuit with JFET op-amps, ultra-high input impedance and internal voltage conversion, Plumes Jr keeps your core tone intact while adding harmonically rich drive that feels three-dimensional and amp-like under the fingers. Simple Level, Gain and Tone controls make it quick to dial in, while EarthQuaker Devices Flexi-Switch relay-based true bypass gives you both latching and momentary operation for creative, on-the-fly bursts of grit. Compact Plumes Platform with MOSFET Character Plumes Jr shrinks the original Plumes concept into a smaller enclosure and swaps in MOSFET clipping for a distinctively punchy, articulate drive voice. MOSFETs respond in a very amp-like way, giving you a fast attack, chewy midrange and smooth, harmonically rich saturation that works brilliantly for tight rhythm parts and singing leads. It is ideal if you love the feel of the original Plumes but want a slightly more focused, modern edge in a space-saving format. All-Analogue, High-Headroom Overdrive At its heart, Plumes Jr is an all-analogue overdrive designed to preserve the dynamics and nuance of your playing. Internal voltage conversion takes the standard 9V input and boosts it to +/-9V, significantly increasing headroom so your sound stays open and three-dimensional, even at higher gain settings. The result is a tube-like drive that pushes your amp naturally rather than smothering it, keeping chords clear and single notes full and expressive. JFET Op-Amps and Huge Input Impedance EarthQuaker Devices have replaced the usual 4558-style chip and traditional buffers with JFET operational amplifiers and an input impedance of nearly 10MΩ. This combination minimises noise, maintains signal integrity and preserves the sparkle and detail of your pickups, particularly with long cable runs or complex pedalboards. Your clean tone stays intact, with the overdrive layered on top rather than dulling your sound. Simple Controls, Flexible Switching With just Level, Gain and Tone, Plumes Jr is fast to set up yet surprisingly versatile. Level lets you use it as anything from a subtle boost to a loud solo driver, Gain ranges from clean and transparent through crunchy overdrive to more aggressive distortion, and the reworked Tone control offers genuinely useful shaping across its entire sweep. Flexi-Switch relay-based true bypass means you can use the footswitch in standard latching mode or as a momentary switch, perfect for quick stabs of drive or accenting specific phrases. Key Features MOSFET Clipping Voice – The MOSFET-based clipping stage delivers a distinctive, amp-like response with tight lows, punchy mids and smooth highs. This gives your overdrive a focused, articulate character that cuts through a mix while still feeling natural under the fingers. All-Analogue, High-Headroom Circuit – An all-analogue signal path and internal conversion from 9V to +/-9V provide plenty of headroom and clarity. Your tone stays open and dynamic, so you can use Plumes Jr as a subtle always-on enhancer or a full-bore drive without losing definition. JFET Op-Amps with 10MΩ Input – JFET operational amplifiers and an ultra-high 10MΩ input impedance help maintain signal integrity, reduce noise and preserve high-end detail. This is especially beneficial with passive pickups and longer cable runs, ensuring your core sound remains bright and lively. Flexi-Switch Relay-Based True Bypass – EarthQuaker Devices Flexi-Switch technology offers both latching and momentary operation from the same footswitch.
