Der EarthQuaker Devices Plumes basiert auf dem legendären grünen Overdrive Pedal, das seit Jahrzehnten als Industriestandard gilt. Im Zusammenspiel mit einem guten Röhrenverstärker erzeugt der Plumes eine warme, transparente Sättigung. EarthQuaker verzichtet auf den bewährten JRC4558 OpAmp und die BJT Buffer und ersetzt sie in der Schaltung durch Low Noise JFET OpAmps für einen präziseren Sound mit deutlich geringerem Grundrauschen. Mit 10 Megaohm Eingangsimpedanz bietet das Pedal einen wunderbar klaren, detaillierten Sound. Der Arbeitsbereich des Tone-Reglers wurde ebenfalls angepasst um mit einem satteren Low End ein breiteres Spektrum an möglichen Sounds zu bieten. 

Zusätzlich bietet der Plumes drei wählbare Clipping-Modi um den Sound des Pedals an möglichst viele Stilrichtungen und unterschiedlichstes Equipment anpassen zu können. Mode 1 bietet symmetrisches Clipping, basierend auf einem Paar LEDs. Das Setting bietet den sattesten Crunch und den klassischen Sound eines übersteuerten Röhrenverstärkers. Mode 2 ist ein Clean Boost ohne Soft Clipping, perfekt um den Clean Sound im Mix nach vorne zu bringen oder den Preamp eines Verstärkers in die Sättigung zu fahren. Mode 3 nutzt asymmetrisches Clipping mit Silizium Dioden und klingt am ehesten nach einem originalen Screamer. Im direkten Vergleich liefert das Setting aber mehr Output und klarere Clean Sounds.

Darüber hinaus verfügt der Plumes auch über EarthQuaker Devices 'Soft Touch' Flexi-Switch-Funktion, mit der du im Handumdrehen zwischen Momentary Modus und traditionellem Latching wählen kannst.

The EarthQuaker Devices Plumes is based on the legendary green overdrive pedal, which has been the industry standard for decades. In combination with a good tube amp, the Plumes creates a warm, transparent saturation. EarthQuaker Devices relinquishes the trusted JRC4558 OpAmp and BJT Buffers and replaces them with low noise JFET OpAmps for a more robust and precise signal with a significantly lower noise floor. With 10 megohms of input impedance, the pedal provides a stronger signal with more clarity and chime. EarthQuaker Devices adjusted the cutoff of the tone control to deliver a more useful range of travel with more booming bass on the low end without sacrificing the cutting midrange and bright top end.

In addition, the Plumes offers three selectable clipping modes to ensure that it will work with a wide variety of gear and playing styles. Mode 1 is symmetrical clipping based on a pair of LEDs. This is the crunchiest setting the Plumes has to offer. When played through a clean amp, it will deliver that classic crunchy valve amp tone. Mode 2 is a clean boost without soft clipping and with straight OpAmp drive, perfect for pushing your clean tone out in front or driving the preamp of an already overdriven amp into breakup saturation. Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement like an original screamer but with more output and clean clarity.

The Plumes features EarthQuaker Devices relay-based 'soft touch' Flexi-Switch Technology for both momentary and latching footswitch operation.

Das Pitchfork von EHX ist neben dem Whammy und dem TC Electronic Sub ‚N‘ up das wahrscheinlich beliebteste Pitch-Pedal, das es auf den Pedal-Boards der Welt gibt. Von einem Bekannten, der sich ausgiebig mit dem Löten von Pedalen beschäftigt, habe ich mir sagen lassen, dass der Bau eines wirklich sauber arbeitenden und verlässlich trackenden Pitch-Pedals alles andere als leicht ist. Und das kann man sich gut vorstellen: Viele Pitch-Pedale tracken irgendwie seltsam, klingen entweder im Clean- oder Gain-Bereich jeweils zu matschig und undifferenziert oder können mit bestimmten Frequenzbereichen nicht gut arbeiten. Selbst das von mir hochgeschätzte Red Panda Tensor hat viele Stärken – die Klarheit des Pitch-Effekts ist es nicht.

The EHX Pitch Fork®+ features two independent pitch shifting engines with full control over each. Both will transpose your pitch up or down over a +/- three octave range and detune +/-99 cents. With rock solid tracking, an organic, musical tone and extensive control, it’s your ultimate harmonizer.

Ein diskretes Overdrive-Pedal, das weder Operationsverstärker noch Dioden-Clipping verwendet. Stattdessen setzt es auf hintereinandergeschaltete Transistor-Verstärkerstufen, um einen satten und nuancenreichen Overdrive-Sound zu erzeugen. Dieses Pedal wurde entwickelt, um Musikern zu helfen, ihren idealen Overdrive-Ton zu erreichen – egal, ob sie einen cleanen oder verzerrten Verstärker verwenden.

A discrete overdrive pedal that does not use opamps or diode clipping. Instead, it relies on cascading transistor gain stages to create a rich and textured overdrive sound. This pedal is designed to help musicians achieve their ideal overdrive tone, whether they are using a clean or dirty amplifier.
Key Features
Analog Design: The pedal is entirely analog, providing a warm and natural sound that many musicians prefer over digital alternatives.
Cascading Transistor Gain Stages: This design allows for a wide range of overdrive tones, from vintage pushed clean sounds to modern, saturated overdrive.
Controls:
Level: Adjusts the overall output volume. Start low and increase to taste.
Drive: Controls the amount of overdrive and saturation; interacts with other controls for a customized sound.
Tone: Balances the EQ, allowing for more treble or bass depending on the setting.
Body: Adjusts the low-end presence, tightening or thickening the tone as needed.
Bias: Controls the internal bias voltage, affecting the gain and texture of the sound. Low bias offers a vintage feel, while high bias provides a thicker, modern tone.
True Bypass Relay Switching: Ensures that the pedal does not color the tone when not in use.
Overvoltage Protection: Safeguards the pedal from power surges, enhancing durability.
Usage
The CSOF is versatile enough for various musical styles, making it suitable for guitarists and bassists alike. It can be used to create everything from subtle overdrive to heavy distortion, depending on the settings and the amplifier used.

Ceremonial Show of Force

Growing up learning how to play guitar, my house had one pedal: my dad’s ’73 Rams Head. This sound is ingrained in my psyche. Black Mass started its life with me trying to clone this pedal. When I started working on The First Herald, I decided to start fresh. I scrutinized every component value, and spent months finalizing it. While the topology remains similar, the sound is modern, decisive, and unmistakably malicious.

The First Herald

The First Herald features two independent and reversible circuits. The Fuzz takes advantage of a modernized tone stack and three distinct clipping modes.  An added Scoop control allows you to dial in exactly where you want to sit in the mix. All the way down, you have a full and present fuzz, but turn it up to add some of that signature midrange scoop. The clipping section is extra special. With the toggle to the left, both soft-clipping stages utilize a hybrid MOSFET/LED combo for a huge, open, cutting fuzz. To the right, the two clipping stages use traditional silicon diodes for extra compression and that smooth, squashed, vintage sound.
The Boost side is a simple discrete boost circuit. The magic here comes from the order reverse switch that allows you to run the boost before or after the fuzz. Run Boost before for extra thick Fuzz saturation, or run it after to drive the amp harder or for a solo level boost. This is not a clean boost, it adds some color, grit, and tons of volume, making it the perfect accompaniment for the Fuzz side.

The First Herald Big Box

The Kill Chain is a pedal designed to accomplish a specific set of goals. First, I wanted a fuzz full of aggression, and raunchy raucousness. Second, I wanted a simple feature set that was easy to understand and dial in—nothing to obsess over or fiddle with. Plug it in and rip. And third, I wanted a pedal that felt worth more than the price of admission, both in dollar value, and versatility of the feature set.

I decided to forego the traditional EQ tools. No tone knob, no active tone stacks, no adjustable high pass filters. I chose a fixed filter towards the end that gave me what I felt was perfect for how I play, while still feeling natural across multiple pickup, amp, and music styles. I implemented the Depth toggle to give me control at the front of how much bass entered the circuit. This toggle provides a wide range of heft, and helps you make easy adjustments between different guitars and pickups. The Level control also adjusts treble frequencies as you adjust the volume. I found when I was playing at lower fuzz volumes I liked more treble, but as I turned up the volume they could get out of control. As you increase the level control treble is attenuated, which keeps everything balanced. The final EQ tool to the party was the Bleed toggle. This toggle does a few things. First, it adjusts the cutoff frequency down for less prominent treble across the Level sweep. It reduces the overall compression for a more open and aggressive sound. Finally, it gives a massive volume boost.
