I can't help but chuckle at this thread.

"... except really, really not."

Here's another GoFundMe campaign she started recently. The accompanying video is infuriating for me to watch.

She whines about losing the financing deal from her mysterious "friend" and how horribly fucked up the situation was

It is a radical departure from her position of just last month

"Everyone is responsible for themselves.

Saying that somehow I have enough control to ruin other people's lives is pretty fucking retarded."

YES w'ere stalkers!!!

NSFW: show

Since a few people have been asking, no, I am longer associated with Dwarfcraft or the devi ever : fx brand that they are managing.

tl;dr - I have nothing to do with Dwarfcraft and the pedals they sell under my name and I want my brand back from them since they are running it and my reputation into the ground. I'm building and designing new effects, but I have no qualms building something based on my old designs if you request... I just can't call them by their original names.

I asked them a week ago about buying the rights back to everything but they aren't being very clear with me exactly what they're plans are for devi ever : fx, and I have offered to buy back the rights since it seems they are, in their own words "purging" their stock of dwarfcraft built devi ever : fx pedals and parts.
They have also scaled back production of my designs by an enormous margin (my last royalty payment from them was $180) and they are transferring the new Silver Rose to the Dwarfcraft brand name (which is completely different the original Infanem design, so that's fine).

All signs point to them being done with everything I sold to them a year ago for $5k + 5% wholesale royalties (I know... a shit deal I never should have taken)... and while I would love to officially be able to use the branding of my old designs and have access once again to the related web and social media sights, their lack of communication and character assassination over at the www.ilovefuzz.com forum where a 60+ page of hate is building (along with my stalker of 4 years is feeding the hate mob)... see for yourself : viewtopic.php?f=149&t=47179&start=990

... all of that has pretty much made me give up hope of once again having ownership of the brand I spent a decade building from the ground up... and even if they did hand it back, it'd probably be for an outrageous amount of money and suffer from them running it and my reputation into the ground the past two months.

So yeah, that's where I stand with dwarfcraft and the devi ever : fx brand they are currently in control of. The only connection we have is that contract that states they have to pay me 5% on wholesale, and that they have ownership over the brand and websites.

They also had an over reaching non compete agreement that was worldwide and eternal, which anyone who knows anything or has done any research understands no court would uphold, and no person of reason would stand behind, taking away a person's ability to do what they know and love and make a living for themselves.

To be honest I never had plans to ramp up production as big as I am at this point with guitar pedals again. My initial request of them was to allow me to build 15-20 pedals a month, under a new name, just enough to make up the money I need to pay for food an utilities, but they balked at the request. I did my research on the non compete part of the contract, realized it was bullshit, and decided to move forward after being advised by lawyers in both our states who said it was ridiculous dwarfcraft would request otherwise.

The moment they found out I was moving forward with building pedals again, they began to purge stock and scaled down production of my effects... my royalties from them over the course of one month went from around $1k on average to $180... and then proceeded to feed the hate mob over at ILF going as far as calling me mentally ill and hinting at possibly taking legal action... yet privately lying to me and saying they never said such things.
So what next?

I'm building pedals again. I'm designing completely new circuits, and if people want me to build custom stuff based on my old designs, I won't say no. The only thing Dwarfcraft owns is the rights to the names. No one can copyright or patent a circuit (otherwise half the boutique industry wouldn't exist!), so I can't sell you a pedal called The Hyperion, but if you want me to build a pedal based on the circuit, I can do that for you.

Beyond that... I guess we'll have to see what the future holds.
Feel free to get a hold of me here or via my personal facebook page if you have questions or are in need of a fuzz from me! heart emoticon

YES w'ere stalkers!!!

(along with my stalker of 4 years is feeding the hate mob)…

Who's she talking about?

Who's the stalker?

[fishtankdork]

I'm confused to the stalker comments as well. If someone was stalking her in real life that's what cops are for (even though I hate them.) if it's just internet stalking, well, I'm sure a lot of people stalk her because she scammed so many people and her whole public life is on the interwebz and she kinda just rubs it in people faces that she scammed them and is demanding more free money.

I'm pretty sure she's talking about our buddy Muddy fuzz. Why? Because when you click the link it pops up right on his post.

Mudfuzz is the stalker?



I was guessing she was talking about one of the noobs.

Either way, stalker or not, she's insane (and, of course, I don't mean that in any hateful way).

but you don't want to just rush into kickstarter undercapitalized. I you are indie, go! Go, get some patreons to go fund. Me, I think that would kickstart, er, the whole thing off
