That's a damn good question. I don't see her on social anymore. Last I heard she was licensing her designs to builders all around the world so hopefully she's found some financial comfort and peace of mind.

I've always wanted to do a "maximun devistation" pedal with like ten of the circuit options being able to be accessed in a medium sized box. As a DIYer I couldn't help but appreciate how the product line evolved from building or modding a common circuit. Wasn't in the know when things went off the rails with the kickstarter Years ago, I remember that EYG did some DIY Bit Legend of Fuzz boards. For the life of me I couldn't get it to sound like the Proguitar vid demo. Never got scrambly enough. Might have to go back and experiment with that one!

A lot of stuff happened over the years. Dwarfcraft made them for a while, then she wanted the brand back and did the Fuzz Goddess thing, then she licensed the pedals to Devi Ever Cymru who are now closing down that part of their business. So who knows who will make them now. There was also a lot of drama and shitposting, but fuck that.

Anyway, I had a few Devi pedals around the time I started hanging around here eight ye... Whoah, what the fuck, eight years? Damn. Just a sec, I'll go lie down for a while.

Ok, so I had the Bit, which was my favourite. Really cool pedal for the Nintentoanz. Also had a Soda Meiser for a while, which is just good fun in every aspect. Think I had the Rocket as well, which is a SM into a Vintage Fuzz Master iirc. Cool, but I'd rather have them separate, which is why I switched. My buddy still uses my old SM to this day, though.

Ruby is one of my favorite Strat fuzzes of all time.
Hyperion is what a modern take on the Muff could be.
Karaoke Party sounded like my Sunn amp being pushed hard.
I miss cheap Devi pedals being a thing.

Well, kind of, but not really?

After putting on my detective hat, I found some stuff:

"Devi goes by these names now: littlemouse/isobelmouse/izzi and does twitch streams, she used to have a popular vrchat avatar world, but kept getting legal trouble since she was selling the avatars which included assets sold without permission of the original author... shortly after making all assets free and deleting the world she came out as a femboy instead of transgender, now he is hypocritically complaining about a fellow vrchat streamer lying for money, whilst he still has kickstarter investors to pay back which he refuses to do."

There's also a thread about him being the (or one of the) reason(s) some VRchat streamer killed themselves, but it was such a long thread I couldn't be assed to read it to see what that was actually all about. But, if you do, have at it: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/timothy-n ... 28/page-53

There's also a reddit post where a user says that since the new femboy self-identification, Devi/Tim/Izzi has been perhaps a little too involved in the kids' identity search: "What I am concerned most with is that Devi tends to put himself in spaces with younger people who are questioning their identity (ex "baby trans") -- gender identity, sexual orientation and so forth and holds himself out as an "elder queer" and "role model"(his actual self-descriptions). I've seen Devi lambast young people over things where the young person was objectively, factually correct.Devi now tends to hang out in curated social media environments where he an be primary controller. To be quite honest, I find Devi somewhat damaging for young queer, questioning, neuro-divergent, etc people who can have their insecurities exploited".

In the Valheim video uploaded yesterday, about halfway through, he shares current thoughts and ideas on online presence.


Tldr: Devi/Tim/Izzi still hustling and causing drama, just elsewhere that involves drawing furries and playing/streaming videogames.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I fell into the rabbit hole and I'm dragging the rest of ya'll down with me. :lol:

In other news, this made me remember wanting a Devi Ever Drone Fuck Drone, and now the GAS is back. In vain, probably, as I don't think there are too many of them out there.

Well that is a bummer :lol: zero surprise about continuing drama though.

Pretty sure a Devi disaster fuzz was the first thing I bought on here right after I joined. Cool pedal

The weirdest thing though is that he had an AMA on kiwifarms. Why? I didn't know they had those. Isn't that just subjecting yourself to ridicule? Luckily I know too little about those parts.

But yeah this is just sad to see. Sucks he starts shit with kids online. :cry: it was so cool to have an lgbt person so prominent in the pedal scene

So anybody know where all the devi ever schems went?

While perhaps not as prominent, you've got Frantone, LOE Sounds and the forum's very own skullservant (Dirge) who are part of said community. Probably others as well, but those are some that come to mind real fast. And the person who ran Infanem (Dana? Diana?).

Yikes. Would rather not have gone down that rabbit hole. But somehow not surprised.

On Devi schematic, in the Dwarfi-Ever era, Aen and Louise sold PCBs for most of the circuits with info on the circuit differences that made one PCB cover a dozen pedals. Wayback Machine at Archive.org could help maybe?

Yeah I have one of those PCBs somewhere, it covers several pedals for sure.

Infanem was Dana yes.
