Circuit Blocks - Devi Ever - Common Devi Ever Fuzz Circuit Blocks

If you're looking for inspiration from some quick, simple, nasty fuzz circuit blocks then take a look at Devi Ever Fx. I have gone through a tutorial how to breadboard the Hyperion 2 (PPCB Ionizer) and if you need a refresher or want to try a full circuit then check this out.

TUTORIAL - Ionizer 2 - Devi Ever Hyperion 2 Fuzz

Hey folks, The Ionizer 2 is based on the Devi Ever Hyperion 2. IMO this is one of the nastiest, gnarliest octave-sounding fuzzes out there and shines with a detuned guitar! Although the circuit itself is small from a components standpoint it is rather quirky (as most Devi Ever circuits are) in...

Many of Devi's pedals contain a handful of circuit blocks with similar component values thrown together in...

"Take the first block I showed you and add a 2n2222a (I used a PN2222a but it has similar properties) into the feedback loop for some additional and different clipping! Breadboard pic also below. That 100n cap pointed up is the output cap in case you're wondering. Mind the pinouts of course."

It's important to note that the 2N2222A in the feedback loop could effectively be replaced by a 1N4148/1N914 as the transistor's diode is the only thing in-circuit.

Agreed 100%. This acts as a diode to provide a more "boutique" type of clipping as well as provide power to the transistor's base.

I have a copy of the Devi Ever pdf that someone (maybe Devi herself?) compiled based on all her stuff she shared on forums. I'll upload it to google drive

I guess I can't post in the tutorial thread, so here it is:

Cool shit @cdwillis thanks for sharing

 

[BuddytheReow]

Funny. I have almost all of those on my google drive too!

Buddy, I have a ton of random electronics manuals/books on my electronics folder on my computer in addition to those. I'm not sure how useful some of them are so I put the ones I figured people would like on Google Drive. I'll dig through and put some more stuff in there

Years ago I made a combo pedal with 4 Devi circuits in it, 2 per side (switchable), and then the series direction is also switchable. There are settings where the pedal will happily make its own music…

Those are a LOT of switches

Yeah, it was more for the challenge than anything else. All on veroboard, but the circuits are all very simple. I haven’t opened it since reassembling it after painting it, but remember the inside as an absolute spaghetti bowl, especially with all white wires. (Pretty sure a guts shot would embarrass me…)

I remember considering using some rotaries on the top, but really wanted to keep the size down. It’s not a pedal I’ve ever had as “on my board,” more something that gets pulled out when I want something really rude or maybe just need to let off steam after a bad day.
