EarthQuaker Devices PlumesĮarthQuaker Devices’ Plumes shouldn’t be written off as ‘just another Tube Screamer clone’. Price: $265 Description: TS-inspired dual-overdrive pedal Controls: 2x level, 2x drive, 2x tone, 4x internal mode select dip switches (1 pair/channel normal, clean, distortion Modes) I/O: Input, output Bypass: True bypass Power: ≤18V mains (new version) Piera admits once his stock of required diodes and capacitors are exhausted, he won’t be able to make any more. The difference between the KOT and that other mythical transparent overdrive, the Klon Centaur, is you can still buy one, though that might not be the case for long. Why all the fuss? Well, the likes of Brad Whitford and Jimmy Herring have long prized the King Of Tone for its clear, uncoloured overdrive that enhances, rather than masks, the tone of your signal chain. The waiting list is approaching two years, and if you can find one secondhand, expect to pay at least double the price of a new example. If you want one of Mike Piera’s creations, you’d better not be in a rush. ![]() ![]() The King Of Tone’s reputation is as much about its scarcity as it is the undeniable quality of the pedal itself.
