EarthQuaker Devices announced the Plumes Jr MOSFET Mod and Blumes Jr MOSFET Mod on October 29, 2026, according to MusicPlayers.com, which dated its release from Akron, Ohio, to that day¹. No Treble reported the same date², while Guitarristas.info, published November 2, described the announcement as having come "el jueves pasado," the previous Thursday³.

The two pedals are compact versions of the full-size Plumes and Blumes, which stay in production¹. Each has Level, Gain and Tone controls and a three-way clipping switch labeled L, N and M²¹. Mode L is symmetrical LED clipping, described as crunchy, compressed and mid-focused; Mode N uses no clipping diodes and is intended as a clean boost; Mode M is the new MOSFET clipping mode²¹. EarthQuaker says the third mode on the standard pedals, which it calls the most "screamer"-style setting, has been replaced by the MOSFET mode, which it describes as producing a harmonically rich, focused overdrive with enhanced low end and a dynamic response similar to a modern high-gain tube amp¹. The Blumes Jr doubles the gain of the core circuit and deepens the bass response, according to the company¹.

Plumes Jr is limited to 2,000 units and Blumes Jr to 1,000³¹. Both are available now at authorized dealers worldwide at a US MAP price of $129¹. Guitarristas.info gives the same US price and lists the standard Plumes and Blumes at 149 euros³.

Specifications as listed by MusicPlayers.com¹ and No Treble². Guitarristas.info gives the enclosure size as 38 × 95 × 51 mm, against 57 × 121 × 64 mm for the standard models, and states both pedals use mechanical true bypass, run on 9 V DC center-negative power and have no battery compartment³. Chuya Online lists the same 25 mA draw, 10 MOhm input and 100 Ohm output for the Plumes MOSFET Mod⁴.
