Any Devi Cherry Pop Users?

[Ginsly]

I searched high and low for a Devi Ever Cherry Pop, as I was told by many that they sound great on bass. I finally found one, and it is a pretty cool bass fuzz - you can actually dial in way too much low end if you're not careful. As with many other Devi pedals, there seems to be some sort of gate that messes with the sustain of the notes - I have the "control" knob up pretty high, but I'm not sure that's what is causing the gating effect. Any thoughts on how you use your CP would be much appreciated! Hopefully I can control this beast and not have to let it go after all that hunting..

That IS a pretty darn good bass fuzz. If you don't like the flavor of the gating, though, it could be that Devi pedals just aren't for you. That was the case for me, but of the many i tried, the Cherry pop was my fave (Year of the Rat was second). It's basically a "Soda Meiser" with a tone control IIRC.

How did you set yours, if you can remember? I realize it's a simple setup, but I'm curious how others are using it.. did you find that the "control" knob affected the gating? I feel like it does, but it's hard to tell..

I found a tiny bit of gain to go a long way, and I cut the tone to about 11o'clock most of the time. The control knob DOES affect the gating but that funky Devi Ever signature decay never goes away.

Awesome, thanks for the input, man!

There's got to be more Cherry Pop users out there.. I'd love to hear from you!

best fuzz i've had the pleasure to play through. i keep the control knob around 10 or 11 o'clock and the tone over at 3 or 4 o'clock. i use a crazy hollow body with a big sounding tube amp though. my settings seem to work with my setup and not much else. give it a try though!

[Ginsly]

Thanks, Mattq! I'll give those settings a shot!

I had a Cherry Pop. I didn't think it was as great as what it was supposed to be. Maybe because I have an active bass, but it just didn't wow me as much as I expected it to. I've since sold it and used the money on a Pitchblack and a DD-3.

That said, I was able to get some cool sounds out of it, so don't think that I hated it. It just wasn't what I was looking for.

A lot of Devi pedals don't work well with active basses, so that makes perfect sense. I'm going to give the Cherry Pop another shot before I let it go.. It really is an interesting pedal.

[wdinc01]

It is. I was fortunate to get one just after they were out of production, so it wasn't much. Its the only thing I made a profit on, although not by a lot. I don't believe in inflating prices.

I had two, sold them both to TBers... I liked the pedal a lot for synth sounds running it into a filter and got some cool doomy sounds from it but it always sounded better in rehearsal then on gigs and I always had issues with it on the lowers notes on a fiver with the gate.. I got a Workhorse which can go way beyond it but that is a even more temperamental pedal... Really I'd say most DE fuzzes are a bit temperamental.
The modern updated version [i.e. the closest you is gunn'a get...] of the Cherry Pop is the War House..
