I've never been super impressed by Devi stuff (well, its just not for me, anyways) but THIS! This looks incredible.

I wonder how the picking dynamics will play out on the bass.

And I wonder if you can bypass the envelope and just play the pedal in the loop without the effect of the gate.
I remember this being a problem with the Eye of God.

This does look pretty sick. So it just triggers whatever is in its effect loop via a dynamic threshold?

I was wondering the same thing. I notice in the video there are two stomp switches and they are both active the whole time. I'm thinking that one of them activates the gate function.

Yes. One footswitch activates the loop. The other engages the gate.

Monsieur Mingus got it.

Is it essentially the same as the Toadworks Enveloope, or how is it different?

It doesn't have the Toadworks' reverse function.

If it doesn't cost $200 like the Enveloope I'd consider the Heaven's Gate.

Just watched some vids of it. Pretty cool pedal. I like the way its really sensitive to the input gain. There's just something about her pedals that never really blew me away. The only thing thats done that besides the Heavens Gate (still on topic see ) was the Legend of Fuzz. Sweet gated tonez. Maybe they all sound better in person then they do in the clips that I have heard .

I was wondering the same thing. Does that mean when the first switch is engaged (similar to a bypass or on/off switch?) that the loop is engaged just as if the pedals were directly in the chain? And when the second switch is engaged it applies the "cool" part of the pedal?

In the comments on the youtube video, it says that it will be $275 and will be available in a three weeks. Dunno how official that is, though.

Different controls, too.
Enveloope only has one footswitch.
Master Volume, Mix, Sensitivity, Loop Pre-gain

Colin, yis. I've got a Ruiner on the way, I'll tell ya all about it.

Update from facebook:

devi ever : fx - Bad news guys... Heaven's Gate doesn't play well with gainy pedals.
me - In the loop? Or in general (before/after)?
devi ever : fx - In the loop. I'm still messing with it, but it's very weird. I mean, it's not to say using gain pedals is impossible.. the Hyperion is usable with some tweaking... but for some reason the Rocket is totally freakin' out, and a Boss DS-1 won't let any clean signal through. I'm not giving up on the bastard... and it might just be wanna of those learning curve situations... still releasing the ****ers regardless, because it sounds great with modulation / delay.

Truly. The nuances of a Devi are hard to capture, especially via a grainy digital camera mic.

Hmmm...thats interesting....it sounded good with the fuzz in the video demo. Or is it just overdrive/distortion that makes the Gate freak out?

Is there anywhere that has decent (~accurate) demos of her pedals?

The OOP (I think it's OOP) Bass Fuzz and Year of the Rat by some dude who might know a little bit about bass and fuzz.

I am REAL late to this Dance!!!

However -- the Enveloope seemed like the perfect effect to me. It has a fatal flaw!!!
The gate closes on the effect RETURN side of the loop. Even a Tech-Dolt like me can realize that this will abruptly cut off the wet signal.
How many millions times better would it be for the bass signal to cut at the beginning of the loop? That way -- you could still hear the trail of your signal traveling through the loop, probably decaying smoothly through a Reverb or Delay at the end of the chain.
Does the Heavens Gate Close at Loops Start, or End?
thanks
