I know how Devi feels though.  I once sold a pedal I had put together to a guy whose in a band who went on to headline Glastonbury, using that pedal that I had worked hard to build and while his band was getting played all over radio 6 and had a number one album bringing in the big dollars I was doing the school run.  I remember thinking "He's a bad guy.  He owes me!".

I dont get how them owning that brand is in anyway related to her anymore...the fact is, they bought it. she sold it. its done, its finished. why she thinks she still is owed something from it is rediculous.

I she sold her car would she stalk the buyer to let her drive it?? (actually, probably yes)

Also...if they are making $300k, which i doubt, but anyway, if they are...then either she made the same and so she should have had some money saved up...or she was shit at running her business and building pedals and never made that much, in which case well done Aen!

and why the fuck would anyone in the gear industry want to support her? why does she feel entitled to help?? her thought process is so fuckin warped!

Earlier on Devi was saying how she'd make $10k a month in a slow month. If the Aens have managed to double that in these economic climes, fair play to them. But I wouldn't put any faith in the figures Devi has been throwing out. Financial clarity, transparency, and responsibility isn't exactly her thing. 

Apparently her new place is close to where One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. How wonderfully apt.

@Lew please stop using your alias to encourage Devi. I know you can't bare to think that her cats will be resigned to a life in a bag of bricks at the bottom of a river, but you will have to live with the consequences when she turns up to couch surf at your house.

The sad irony that if Devi's cats end up in a landfill they'll most likely be surrounded by broken Devi Ever pedal builds.

Gofundme for June and July...

I feel sorry for Devi.

Not in the sense of "she's done nothing wrong" - but rather in the sense of "she needs some help". The whole thing is a bit sad.

Devi says hi to Markus Persson of Minecraft fame:

@nickb_boy she will make me fuzz pedals whilst on my sofa.

Full meltdown engaged - not going to end well

I'm thinking about stating a gofundme fund raise to keep an accountant on retainer to constantly track and feedback on her spending and repayment deals to all the people she owes money to.

she was earning 20k a month, sold that business, got lower royalties got kickstarter money, pissed it against a wall, and now wants more money for free so she can rip off the contract she did in good faith when she sold her 20k per month business, I think not.

I'll find a way to fund someone to re-do her designs at %15 discount/cashback on everyone bough from me rather than her, it is time to work in McDonalds and pay off what you own before talking about starting up a new business.

It's an understandable human viewpoint (and probably shared by those who donate) but she's had help and ultimately she needs to take some responsibility and help herself.  Everything for her is an 'issue'.  She invents issues people have with her.  She's mutates actual genuine issues people have with her to the point that she's the victim. 

Primarily everything seems to boil down to "Woe is me... I was born this way and the world's got a problem with it.".  In truth the world couldn't care less and fundamentally we were all 'born this way' (an many with far bigger issues than she could dream of) and have had to get on with it.  She's not a victim of prejudice, she's a perpetrator of it.  Rather than the nasty words that may apply to her being used to attack her, she uses them to make excuses and attack rivals, critics and non-believers.  At the same time she throws around derogatory words about learning difficulties, autism, homosexuality and race and expects sympathy for her own 'issues' and difficulties.

The more people help Devi the more they perpetuate the whole self-pitying, self-delusion that keeps her swimming around the same attention seeking toilet bowl. 

All of that is besides the damage that the likes of her and Dan at PCE effects do to an industry that features some truly good people working incredibly hard to try and do what they love.  Meanwhile she spend the time she could have actually been 'developing her ideas' begging people to fund her to do 'what she loves', which from what I've witnessed over the last few years primarily seem to be seek attention. 

Quite frankly the only way I'd ever consider donating to Devi is if it was to fund a tattoo on her forehead that read 'First World Problems'.

It's a bit worrying that people are still willing to invest / donate to this scenario.

I have no idea really who this person is however they clearly have a proven history of not being able to run a business - which let's face it is nothing to do with your gender / ethnicity / favourite spice girl etc.

As someone who assesses financial risk on a daily basis if this person came to me looking for funding I'd straight away decline based on their past endevours.

Not all of us can run a business, we don't all have the knowledge or the skill to do so. Hence the reason why a lot of business ventures fail. I really think this person needs to realise that and apply whatever skills and talents they do have into those areas rather than chasing one bad business after another

Let's put it this way - if she ever decided to sign up here to promote her wares, I can almost guarantee she'd be banned right away as a scam artist.

It angers me on a fundamental level that she's leveraging so many weaknesses in people to basically wallow in her victimhood.

Classic Devi

On the plus side, I've owned a handful of old Devi Ever pedals, and they've been OK.... In fact, I really like her Punch Love boost, that was one of my faves until it broke.

Couldn't get on with the Godzilla or Hyperion fuzzes though, even though I really wanted to.

That's who I meant, I'd forgotten the name. But yeah, it happens so often it's actually quite sad how many people fall for it.
