EarthQuaker Devices · pedal

The EarthQuaker Devices x KGR Harmony Cast Iron Plumes is a 100-unit, individually numbered limited edition of the standard Plumes overdrive, distinguished entirely by its hand-cast iron enclosure. The casing was made by Oitomi Ironworks in Iwate, Japan using Nanbu-tekki, a centuries-old Japanese ironworking technique traditionally used for cast-iron teapots, in collaboration with pedal builder Keijiro "KG" Fukushima of KGR Harmony. The underlying circuit, the same all-analog Tube Screamer-style transparent overdrive with a three-way Clipping switch found on the standard Plumes, is unchanged; the edition's value is in its handcrafted enclosure and extreme scarcity.

    — from the listing

  • “Cast iron enclosure via Nanbu-tekki technique is a genuinely unusual and labor-intensive production method for a guitar pedal, giving this edition real collector credibility beyond a simple paint-job limited run”

    — from the reviews

  • “Extremely limited availability, 100 numbered units total, sold out shortly after release, makes secondary market examples scarce and sought after”

    — from the reviews

  • “Primary appeal is the provenance story, EarthQuaker's founders traveled to Iwate, Japan to watch the casting process firsthand, and the craftsmanship of the centuries-old Nanbu-tekki ironworking technique applied to a guitar pedal enclosure”
