This is the EarthQuaker Devices Blumes, a bass-heavy and extra gainy version of their insanely popular Plumes overdrive. This thing is great for thick saturated riffage as well as bold overdriven textures. In this video I’ll dive into how I like to use its 3 modes through some post-metal, shoegaze and emo examples, as well as quickly compare it to its sonic sibling, Plumes. Let’s get into it.

This is going to become the best friend of the people riding on the recent baritone / bass vi trend

"Comparison is the thief of joy." Not only slinging epic riffs and demos, but a little wisdom on the side now? 🤘🙏💯 Thanks for showing us what we all wanted to know: "How does Blumes measure-up on GUITAR?!" The answer seems to be what we suspected: gloriously preserved bottom end and 3 differently saturated "overdrives" for days.

I wasn't particularly thrilled by hearing it with basses, but wow I'm lovin' the sounds with the baritone. Thanks for the video

I have the same baritone Jazzmaster you do and I've been looking at this pedal for a bit now, very glad to have found this video!!

Happy you found me :) That baritone is such a great and fun instrument. One of the best gear purchases I've ever made. And I just love how Blumes makes it even more crushing to wield.

Happy to hear you dig it. It's a killer drive pedal. Way heavier and saturated than I initially thought it would be, but retains clarity beautifully.

@thechronicnoizeco.6675 5 ай бұрын

I pre-ordered one the other day. Will sound great with bass, of course. I also tune down to C#. It ought to make a difference. I have the special cranker but tend to stack it to get more fuzzy buzz. This might be a single pedal solution.

@saturnskull1242 5 ай бұрын

hey man great demo, only quality guitar demo ive seen in the tube. I wonder when in saturation settings, how well and defined will a arpegiated riff at the 3 heavier strings, on low tuned guitar will sound. Did you try sth like that? Cheers

@thepedalzone 3 ай бұрын

Happy you enjoyed the demo. Means a lot to me. Arpeggios will sound very clear and defined with this pedal all over the neck. Definitely give it a go!

@nicholaskornischuk694 5 ай бұрын

love that you showed Blumes next to Plumes. i wondered how it compared. Blumes def has a stronger low end but still manages to keep the mids and highs. i feel that’s always a struggle with any sort of OD, fuzz, distortion. might have to add this to my list of pedals i “need”. as well as a baritone 😂😅

@thepedalzone 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, thought it made sense to let them go head to head. I was honestly shocked by how different they are. Happy you found the comparison helpful. And yes, you definitely need a Baritone. There's few things more fun than just unleashing a massive wall of distortion with a baritone.

I've been waiting for your demo since the day the Blumes dropped! I love how messy it gets! Maybe Blumes should stand for Boosted Plumes. It's angry!

@robertdonosobuchner3129 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for this great and inspiring video. Instead of buying the Blumes, I will buy the Plumes. I really like the sounds of both effect pedals, but I think the Plumes will be great with my hybrid fuzz (DROP / DED Fuzz, from Analogwise Pedals) that I will blend together. 😊

@thepedalzone 5 ай бұрын

Happy to hear you enjoyed the demo. Plumes is definitely great for giving fuzz pedals a tighter and more mid-focused sound, so I think you've made a great choice there.

@richnewman 5 ай бұрын

It seems fine if you're a heavy baritone player, but otherwise it sounds very muddy to me. Not my cup of tea. Great video, though!

@thepedalzone 5 ай бұрын

It's indeed really fine for drop-tuned destruction. But yeah, all of the low-end saturation can detract a bit from the cutting clarity that guitarists are used to. Totally cool that it's not for you, I love how unhinged this thing can get though :) And thanks for the sweet words about the video. Means a lot!

@miguelfernandes333 Ай бұрын

...and you couldn't borrow a bass guitar to demo this pedal?

@thepedalzone Ай бұрын

Sure. I didn't want to though. I'm not a bass player. Wanted to show this on guitar and baritone instead within the musical context that I roam around in. There's plenty of bass demos of it out there on youtube, if you want to hear it on bass. Happy hunting :)
