Devi Ever: The Goddess of Fuzz

I'm on a bit of a pedal trip at the moment (to be totally honest I am ALWAYS on a pedal trip) and now that I've finished a gigging pedal board that I was happy with for about five minutes I naturally want a load of new pedals to make new horrible nasty sounds with and from what I've heard no one does more horrible or more nasty than Devi Ever FX... (that sounds very, very wrong and for this I apologise.)

I first heard Devi's boxes of tonal destruction a couple of years ago when I came across the now seemingly defunct Effector 13 pedal brand and I spent some time putting aside pennies for a 'Truly Beautiful Disaster' which was an almighty yet disgusting fuzz that also featured a built in effects loop and photo sensitive eye so presumably you could look like a complete tit on stage waving your hand madly like some deranged version of Jean Micheal Jarre whilst you gradually deafen your audience. Sadly when I went to buy one I couldn't find one anywhere and learned of the apparent demise of the Effector 13 company (coolest name for a pedal company ever too...) and spent my money elsewhere on things like takeaway pizza and beer.

Recently I discovered that Devi Ever carried on building this pedal and heaps more under her own company of the same name out of her home in Portland, Oregon which has reignited my fuzz-lust. The only real problem I have now is deciding which one to get... my needs have changed and the all encompassing power of the Truly Beautiful Disaster would be complete overkill so I'm pondering investing in the simplified 'Disaster Fuzz' or perhaps the 'Destructo Noctavia or maybe the 'Hyperion'... ARGGG I JUST DON'T KNOW.

One of the things I really like about these pedals is the disclaimer that when you order one there is no guarantee she'll have painted it like the one in the picture so you don't know what you're getting... well apart from that you'll have a tone-mangling weapon of mass destruction at your disposal to destroy feeble audiences who doubt your guitar wielding credentials.

You should really go to www.deviever.com and check out the plethora of pedal power available and then check out now one but TWO awesome videos below, aren't I good to you?

Just a note regarding the Oohlala version of the Truly Beautiful disaster that you may have seen knocking around... It doesn't look as cool and therefore you should get the Devi one, thanks.
