The Plume is designed to produce a thick and heavy distortion sound reminiscent of those heard on many classic 90s alternative rock albums. It is (so far) the most aggressive-sounding pedal in the SHOE lineup and kicking it on mid song will give you a satisfying explosion of sound.  It does great on heavy riffs, drones, shoegazer chords, and leads alike and (on a guitar neck pickup) can even get you into some smooth prog type sounds as well. The pedal’s lower gain mode uses one less stage of distortion and is generally on the darker/grungier/moody side of things while the high gain mode produces an all out wall of fuzz.

The Pixel is one of the earliest SHOE designs. It began as an oscillating fuzz and, after intentionally adding elements haphazardly and then adjusting the circuit so the pedal began to work again, it turned into something else entirely.

The Pixel is a gated fuzz and is commonly used on bass, though it works quite well on guitar and other instruments. When used with a guitar on single-note lines, the Pixel is adept at producing chiptune and analog or 8-bit synthesizer type sounds. It can resemble the sound of a classic monosynth or game console. This effect is most pronounced at higher PINCH settings.

Robert is inspired by the legendary smooth fuzz lead tones created by a certain progressive guitarist with the same name. It is not, however, a clone of any of his pedals. Rather, like any Shoe pedals that are named “after” something, it is an impressionistic take on a type of sound.

With just two knobs, you can dial in a range of classic fuzz and drive sounds. Robert loves to be played on neck pickup leads, but also is quite comfortable on a bridge pickup either for lead lines, riffs, or warm and chewy chords. With this compact and user-friendly pedal you can move between fusion, classic prog, classic rock, jazz, garage rock, proto-metal, psychedelic, alt rock, shoegaze, and more with ease.

The Dogon people of West Africa’s oral tradition tells of an ancient encounter with a race of Amphibians called the Nommos. It is said that these mermaid-like creatures descended from the sky and gave the Dogon great knowledge. They were told of Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s four major moons, and received knowledge of the star Sirius B long before it was observable by telescope technology. Recently, it has been discovered that the Dogon also received inexplicable knowledge of Fuzz pedals over 5,100 years before the recording of “Don’t Worry.” This Ancient Fuzz technology has remained hidden, passed down in secret from generation to generation for thousands of years. Until now…

h boy, what areyou getting yourself into!? The Silver Apple is a wild beast of a fuzz or maybe a synthesizer or both. It’s named after both the first electronic music record and a great psychedelic band with good reason. Sure, you can get some pretty normal drive sounds out of it if you turn down the gain a bit and don’t dial in any glitch and turn your guitar volume down a little, but where’s the fun in that? (actually that’s pretty fun, too). The Silver Apple really excels at producing liquid leads, dying video game arpeggios, nearly infinite sustaining banshee-like fuzz, and even some pseudo suboctave sounds.
