Fuzz Review: Devi Ever – Bass Fuzz (super massive black hole)

Conclusion:

The bass fuzz meets the first basic rule of pedals labeled ‘for bass’, it keeps the low end intact at the majority of the settings. I’m pretty impressed with this pedal on the whole, it can sing a couple of different tunes and they all sound pretty good. I wouldn’t call this a classic fuzz, but it’s range has more subtle side in addition to some really biting industrial sounds. That said, the high end isn’t particularly articulate I notice the high notes getting swallowed in the sound when playing chords or arpeggios at the majority of the settings.

The utilitarian design/contruction leads my mind wandering down the path of the classic argument: pedals, toys or tools? This one is clearly a tool, I can almost hear the internal dialogue about doing basic boxes to help keep the cost down. So while it might not get a lot of attention sitting on your pedal board, it will when you turn it on and that is what really matters.

An affordable bass pedal with a very usable gated sound by itself stands out, but I think there are more than a few angry young/old bass players who would be glad to call this fuzz “home”.

As always, if you have any questions, leave a comment or let me know

Note: A rating of 5 = acceptable and should considered a ‘good’ basic score
