Thank you! I warned people for years that the Plumes is not a good option for bass players due to how much low end you lose on it. Might sound ok in a bedroom but soon as you kick it on in a full band you get completely lost. I was called a tone snob for ages but I feel almost vindicated now that Earthquaker have designed a unit specifically for bass. And as expected, it sound incredible! Preordering a unit asap!
Dude!! Thank you guys so much--its like you heard me wishing for this. I am a huge fan of your pedals, especially Plumes...i have a couple of them and have given a couple to friends as well. I use one on my guitar board and one on my bass board, and i love them...but one specifically for bass is what i really wanted. Thank you EQD 👽
Really hope the trend of EQD releasing bass pedals continues. Love my Cloven Hoof, but if they released a Cloven Hoof with a blend (and even more bass-friendly EQ) that would be my dream pedal.
I've used a Plumes on bass and was underwhelmed by the resulting mid-push and loss of low-frequency fundamentals. The Blumes sounds like it retains all the low end and adds a lovely thickness. Time to shake some walls!
Sounds pretty great and with some very tasty tonal, gain, and clipping options. Just a thought that having a dry low blend pot could make even some more tonal possibilities. Cheers for an actual bass focused pedal!
Get out of my head. I have been watching youtube videos and staring at a Plumes in my cart for about 3 days. Made up my mind for me. First time I have ever bought a pedal on launch day.
wow... it has tones that sound like a sunn or acoustic that's super pushing a 4x12, and a bunch of other stuff besides... definitely going on the wishlist
I used for a long time the regular Plumes… loved it, but ended up selling it cause it needed some more low end retention. The Blumes seems to be the answer to that
I just bought a boss bass overdrive lol Another overdrive/dirt pedal wont hurt. I have the plumes and I love it for bass and guitar but I might have to upgrade here soon.
I've been playing it for bit -- first impression it's a good "alway on" pedal (like your demo) with lots of useful sounds but the volume difference when you engage / disengage is too much of a jump unless the level is very low. And there's no way to quickly move among the different modes unless you have a dedicated hand tweaker. A blend knob, second stomp, and expression pedal would do just that. But that's a different pedal.
Guitar demo will come! Blumes features most of the characteristics of our beloved Plumes® Small Signal Shredder, but this circuit has double the gain and a deeper bass response to retain all the low end
I need this I'm my life. And every other bass oriented pedal that EQD decides to produce. I own 23 earthquaker pedals, and have yet to get a plumes yet, let alone a blumes. Both are now inevitable.
The video would have been better with a more "pure" recording. Using an Ampeq SVT w/ 8x10 even an 80$ Bass sounds badass. I wanna hear what the pedal itself sounds like ;-)
The Blumes has an overall deeper bass response over the Plumes. I would say it has the edge over the Zoar as far as low end gain, as it was primarily designed with Bass in mind. The Blumes also features twice the amount of Gain that the Plumes has to offer. The Zoar features a 3 band EQD in which to better shape your overall tone. This definitely comes in handy while using with Bass. Honestly, it will come down to your matter of preference on whether you prefer the Zoar or Blumes for bass. Try both!
Well now, thats some real tasty low end. I dare say you've done it again Jamie. Will hand over hard earned viking money for blumes as soon as it is available. Peace
YES! All of these tones are massive! I couldn’t be more excited about the Blumes. Exactly what us bassists needed. 💛🤩
Rock on!
Somebody call Lou Barlow
Jason Loewenstein too.
Mode 1 riff blew the back of my head off.
🙌🏽 We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy!🙌🏽
We just wanted a blend knob on the Plumes!
Will have to try this though.
Brilliant! Sounds spot on for bass. Thanks for thinking about us!!! 🤘🏻🥳
You bet!

I’ve been in love with the Plumes on bass since I bought one at EarthQuaker Day 2019, so this release is super exciting!!! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you for your support!
This is ten of the gnarliest minutes I've been legally "above" in this state. I love you.
u ok?

These tones made me think of the bass sounds in the Scott Pilgrim movie. This is a very good thing.
What a compliment!
Super pumped to get my hands on this! Thanks EarthQuaker!!!

🙌🍻
Wish it had a blend knob.
When i thought the plumes couldn't get any better.
Cheers! you're my favourite pedal maker at the moment!
Thanks so much!

Glad you love it!
I got mine today. Does not disappoint.
Love to hear it!
Sounds fantastic! We're gonna shoot a demo with it using an 8 string to see how it sounds with extended range guitars 👍
🤘🤘🤘
RAAAD! You folks are crushing it. Repping Ohio hard. I'm in Vermilion, hoping for an official eqd bass fuzz called the woolybear 😂
I love that idea!
wow... it has tones that sound like a sunn or acoustic that's super pushing a 4x12, and a bunch of other stuff besides... definitely going on the wishlist
🤘
Thanks for playing it like it owed you money
I used for a long time the regular Plumes… loved it, but ended up selling it cause it needed some more low end retention. The Blumes seems to be the answer to that
Now I want one of those!
Hoping we also see the Bizumitas, the Boar, and the Boof
not the Boof😂
hizumitas already keeps a lot of low end
the Brand Orbiter
A low gain boof would be tuff
WOAH...How did you make me spend more money after Christmas... Jesus.. that pedal sounds sooo good though!! I cannot wait.
I just bought a boss bass overdrive lol
Another overdrive/dirt pedal wont hurt. I have the plumes and I love it for bass and guitar but I might have to upgrade here soon.
I'm ready for the color ways
So sick, why is low signal nasty harmonic gnarliness not loved by everybody? It is the best
I'd like to hear it played through a completely clean and transparent solid state amp to get a better idea of what the pedal is doing.
Yeh. Me too.
This makes me want to build a pedal board just for my bass!
Phenomenal!
dang first the Zoar now this... EQD gonna be my entire gain staging!
Why not!!😎
I'd love to hear some synyhs ran through this puppy!
Oh yes!

Siiiiiick. Instant must-have.
💯
Make a bass version of the Westwood, call it the Bestwood!
Yes!
This is gonna sound great on baritones and down tuned guitars
You got that right!!
i wanna see a guitar demo, for baritones and 7 strings and drop tuned etc!! (and maybe on a regular guitar to compare to plumes? is it the same?)
Guitar demo will come! Blumes features most of the characteristics of our beloved Plumes® Small Signal Shredder, but this circuit has double the gain and a deeper bass response to retain all the low end
Just insta-bought one! SN 787 on the way!
🤝 Enjoy!!!
Even if I didn't have basses, I think I would need this just to match my Plumes 😅
i bought a walrus badwater to record bass and it is great except i don't love the drive section. adding this before it will be my perfect solution.
Good choice!
Ah man I JUST got the plumes for my bass!!! This is making me reconsider it! Haha
If you get Judy Blume to do a signature color I will buy it. Judy Blume is the best.

I need this I'm my life. And every other bass oriented pedal that EQD decides to produce. I own 23 earthquaker pedals, and have yet to get a plumes yet, let alone a blumes. Both are now inevitable.
Wow!! Thats amazing.. here's to adding 2 more to your collection! Thanks for your support!🍻❤️
Sounds awesome
Cheers🙌
Love the Cloven Hoof with my bass, but this is some nasty filth right here 💪
I’m in love
💘
I wish it was available in India
Damn the Rage In BLUMES
This is amazing but please... I need this in black.
I have been using the Plumes on bass for quite a while now and couldn't be happier. So I'm on the fence with this one.
The fact that I saw this pedal right when I bought the Plumes for my bass makes me a tiny bit sad. Don't get me wrong, it sounds amazing anyway.
Now we need the bass Hoof. The Boof.
Cool stuff
Where is the clean blend ?
Awesome🤘
No Blend? 🤔
No blend.
The video would have been better with a more "pure" recording. Using an Ampeq SVT w/ 8x10 even an 80$ Bass sounds badass. I wanna hear what the pedal itself sounds like ;-)
Thanks for the feedback! We figured we’d put it to the test in a “real life” like scenario :)
The phone number in the description really works! 🤣 Leave a voicemail!
It was the zoar for me!
Tell Juan
Juan is hip!!
I love Portmanteaus!
6:14 holy shit
It chonky ❤
Torn between this and the Zoar for bass. Any thoughts on what differentiates them in terms of player needs?
The Blumes has an overall deeper bass response over the Plumes. I would say it has the edge over the Zoar as far as low end gain, as it was primarily designed with Bass in mind. The Blumes also features twice the amount of Gain that the Plumes has to offer. The Zoar features a 3 band EQD in which to better shape your overall tone. This definitely comes in handy while using with Bass. Honestly, it will come down to your matter of preference on whether you prefer the Zoar or Blumes for bass. Try both!
I just bought the Zoar a month ago. I just ordered this tonight. Both sound great and have different voices.
I need this...
Well now, thats some real tasty low end. I dare say you've done it again Jamie. Will hand over hard earned viking money for blumes as soon as it is available.
Peace
Its available today!!
@@EarthQuakerDevicesDone!
Judy Blume(s)
Balls to the wall Bass.
🤘
Birst
Blumin' feckin' hell 😮😆
Might combine this with my Fuzz War
gnarlyy
🅱️ L U M E S
Wow... No more LS 2 for my plumes
Lol I’m in the same boat
I personally think clean blending is still the best way to go, but it’s nice that it won’t be necessary with the Blumes
Exactly!
Is it 99$??
Yes!
@@EarthQuakerDevices I would love to do a demo I’m a inspiring studio artist I for some bass skills
No clean blend?!? You $#!+ the bed on that.
We wanted to keep the price as low as possible. Some people want the blend, and some people don't need it! Thanks for checking this!
Blumes bass fumes has that phat low end that will rattle that stubborn nugget loose.
🅱️lumes
But how does this sound on a 30” baritone? 🤔
It'll rip on a baritone!! Defintely designed with baritones and drop tuned guitars in mind
Yeah but how does it sound on guitar?
It sounds massive on guitars too! Especially in drop tunings😈
8 string guutar???
💪💪💪
Thank F*ck. I’m going to be pissed if it actually turns out to kill your low end tho 😂. Gonna get one.
I’m afraid I just Blumes myself
🎤 😫 🎸 🔊 🔊 🔊 🔊
why do ANY builders put out ANY bass pedal without a blend? 🙄
Bye bye darkglass distortion
This is useless without unprocessed sound
😆
Lol that’s like the worst sound demo LOL but I get the point
