The name makes it sound like it will be extreme… the green color makes it seem like another TS clone or derivative. It isn’t really either. I find this to be a hugely versatile boost/od/distortion. The second position gives a full open sound while 1 and 3 give different levels of compression and slightly different behavior to the tone knob. I was able to match tones w my Tumnus. And stacked with another boost, it makes a nice harmonic distortion or fuzz. This knocked the Wampler Pantheon and Rats Bane off my board. Realty great pedal. 3 knobs means a simple guy like me can remember how to get the sounds he likes, as he cycles through different options.

I use this overdrive mostly for low/mid gain rhythms. I love it. It sounds full and alive with tube amps. There are 3 mods but my favorite is the 3rd one. EQ has a great room, and this pedal is loud. You can get noise from it after the volume turned to half with high gains, but it is normal with this pedal.

Just a remark, when you change the mod from mod 1 or 2 to mod 3, volume drops, I checked it and is not a defect. It is coming from product itself. But changing mods in the middle of the song is not a thing you would do in live situation, so it is fine.

I saw some comparisons with TS9 but I think two pedals are very different. I have used them both. They are both great and I can't say one of them is better, but for my personal taste, I liked Plumes more :)
