EarthQuaker Devices Plumes

The Plumes fits my thinking about pedals that reshape decisions rather than just color signal. Three clipping modes that each behave differently under pick attack means you're choosing a response, not just a tone. Compared to the Big Muff, which commits you to one sustained voice, the Plumes stays interactive. Still learning, but that distinction feels meaningful.
