Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The EarthQuaker Devices Blumes is a low signal shredder overdrive from the Akron, Ohio boutique builder, based on a fully analog screamer-style circuit with soft clipping and a bass-friendly frequency voice. Like the Plumes, it features a three-mode clipping switch, but the Blumes circuit is specifically voiced for lower frequency content, making it equally effective on bass and guitar. The soft clipping delivers natural harmonic overdrive with good note definition. Suited for bass players and guitarists seeking warm, low-mid-forward overdrive.
The EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls is an all-analog bass preamp and overdrive pedal designed as a comprehensive signal command center for bass players. It features an active three-band EQ, a variable gain overdrive section, and a clean blend control that preserves low-end definition while adding harmonic saturation. The Scrolls provides natural tube-like warmth and responsive overdrive ranging from subtle growl to aggressive saturation. Suited to rock, metal, jazz, and progressive bass contexts, it combines tonal shaping and drive in a single compact enclosure.
