Devi Ever: Users?

I have a strange attraction to these pedals; who else can put up with the baggage/drama and have fun playing them?

I have a Rocket (borderline useless gimmick pedal with nice art) a Bit, and a US (the latter two being remarkably versatile and dynamically responsive pedals that I love.) Looking into obtaining a Torn's Peaker, Karaoke Party and Hyperion/Hypno Mangler based on online demos, before the obsession wanes and I move on to the next gear infatuation.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

I checked them out before. I wanted to get a US upon first listen, because it just seemed like a straight forward fuzz without all the gimmicks like a ****ing joystick on the pedal. After a few more listens, I bought a Swollen Pickle instead. Eventually sold it all after I got my first POD, because modelers... If I ever need to buy another fuzz pedal, though, the US would be one I'd look at again.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

I've got an Effector 13 (previous brand) Truly Beautiful Disaster. It's off the wall, uncontrollable gated/Velcro fuzz. By far the wildest pedal I own. In fact, I'm not sure the last time I plugged it in.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

I really do like both the Bit and the US, they're very similar to each other, If I had to choose it would be the Bit...

Both will do a really crazy, zippery/gated (US) or 8-bit (Bit) type tone with the volume rolled back or if you play with a lighter touch, dig in with the pick and you get a really rich fuzz. They both like to push a cranked amp. Thought these two pedals in particular would be gimmicks, they're somehow practical though.

Bit has a much better tone control, and is less bright (also somewhat more unique) so it wins over the US.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

I built most of those circuits a few years back. The Schematics are all over the net for each one.

The Karaoke Party ended up being my personal favorite. It's a very mild OD/boost, that almost turns to Fuzz with the gain wide open.

It really adds a lot to a bright thin guitar or amp tone. It puts some beef in it.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

I really like the Sodamieser.

I tried the Soda Mite at a local pawn shop though and hated it. Gated crackle fuzz that sounds like it's broken is not my thing. Lol

Half of the Rocket is a Soda Meiser; it doesn't work for me so much. Really scrambled/nonexistent bass, no difference between playing a chord and a single note. It also falls apart totally if it doesn't have a really clean fundamental signal, so it's hard to find an application for it without getting your rig specific to wanting that sound.

The upper/octave squeak is a good thing. But I think the Vintage Fuzz Master (also in the Rocket) is a better implementation of that concept overall.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

I have/had several. They're useful for getting different sounds. I have/had the: 90, Aenima, Torns Peaker, Hyperion, Year of the Rat.

The 90 is a raunchy distortion that's gated. Aenima is a wall of deep fuzz. Hyperion is a spastic mess, Year of the Rat is a splattering mess. The Torns Peaker is an uncontrolled monster. They will all turn your 5 watt amp into the loudest thing in the whole wide world killing small birds and animals and eardrums.

I'd use them with a delay for soloing if I had to revisit them.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

Devi Ever Begins, Devi Ever Returns, Devi Ever Forever, it just goes on for me. Thought I'd shaken my unusual obsession with these. But then I low-balled someone on Reverb because I liked the graphic. Let's just say this is the first pedal I've tried that I've actually thought was broken out of the box... And I have four other Devi Evers. Does combine well with other pedals though... I used the word "well." Um. It's interesting anyway.

I feel like I should put "spoiler alert" if I write more. I think you really need to experience the pedal first-hand

I had an E13 Truely Beautiful Disaster and No-Fi. The No-Fi was cool because it sounded like you were playing through an old AM radio.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

Why would I want to sound like I'm playing through an old AM radio? I could probably get that tone if I turn my bass and treble all the way down and turn the mid all the way up. No thanks.

One-stomp special effect pedal for an intro or breakdown, etc. I have an Ibanez Lo-Fi that I used to do that with sometimes.

Seek and Destroy.
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

I suppose, or more likely the intro for "Wish you were here".
Still, not my cup of tea.

The Longcat ZG above is apparently the Devi Ever branded No Fi... "The treble remover." I agree it's basically useless :D It's the loudest pedal I've ever played through despite that, which is a contradiction that doesn't help it.

That said, it does sound pretty awesome in front of another fuzz...
 
Re: Devi Ever: Users?

I wonder if it would help in getting a good Boston sound?

I really want the Silver Rose, but they discontinued the IC fuzz version...maybe one day...

Mine didn't remove treble. Basically, cut out the low end and added a very slight fuzz. Sounded like your guitar was playing through a 4" car speaker with no woofers and the radio turned up a little too loud.
