Earthquaker Blumes Small Signal Shredder Bass Overdrive Effects Pedal - BLUMES

OVERVIEW

The Blumes® Low Signal Shredder, designed specifically for bass players, is the newest addition to the EarthQuaker family. With its powerful circuit, this pedal is perfect for mastering deep overdrive on both bass and guitar, making it a must-have for all low-end enthusiasts.

Featuring enhanced gain and improved bass response, the Earthquaker Blumes Small Signal Shredder Bass Overdrive Effects Pedal preserves all the signature qualities of its predecessor while doubling the power. From a crunchy tone at lower gain levels to a full-bodied bass sound at higher levels, this pedal has something for every type of bass player.

This completely analog overdrive pedal offers three different modes of drive, utilizing soft clipping to emulate the iconic screamer circuit while maintaining its own unique voice. With its bipolar power, expect enhanced dynamics, clarity, and ample headroom, resulting in a three-dimensional tone that can push any tube amp to its limit.

Offering three distinct clipping options, the Earthquaker Blumes Small Signal Shredder Bass Overdrive Effects Pedal satisfies all low-frequency face melting requirements, just like its counterpart, the Plumes.

Mode 1 is 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.

Mode 2 is a clean pure OpAmp gain boost mode. This eliminates the soft clipping diodes altogether and leaves you with 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 o’clock.

Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement similar to the stock screamer but with more output and clean clarity, which provides more transparent tone. Using this mode gives a warmer low-end response and lower output. It’s fuzzier with half the output and is the most compressed.

Each Blumes pedal is forged in the deepest, lowest caverns of Akron, Ohio, USA.

Blumes is not a limited edition, and will be a regular part of our line.
