Looking to buy a Devi Ever Ruiner fuzz pedal. There's one on The Mad Ape website, but i've never used this site. Is it a good store?

I've had very good experiences with The Mad Ape. In fact, there was a piece I wanted to buy from them that I paid for and they were back ordered. The manufacturer was taking so long delivering back stock that I was contacted by the store to refund me my money because he "felt bad that they were taking this long." Honest guy, friendly service, and knowledgeable...recommended.

I got my Enigma from them. It was backordered and even though I wasn't notified that it was backorded I got it. I have heard from many that they are very reputable. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for anything in the near future.

I bought a DE Ruiner on e-bay from Mad Ape, turns out they shouldn't have listed it because they weren't in yet, but I switched the order to a Karaoke Party then and they sold me a Ruiner At Discount when they did arrive. Very friendly and helpful, if only human.

I also bought a ruiner from them when they were out of stock but was updated through emails. I would buy from them again no problem.

I've ordered from them 3 times, no problems at all. And they're good about accepting returns too.

I've bought from them about 3 times. Great prices and super fast shipping. Great service overall.

I'm not really concerned, just never really heard of the site. Plus I don't give my credit card number to any site on the net.

I've purchased a Ruiner, Soda Meister, Hyperion and The Ape has been great to deal with. The best Devi Ever source.

Bought my Ruiner direct from The Mad Ape - had no problems with them at all (the Belgian postal service on the other hand...)

Their service is great and friendly sales staff, very responsive and genuine. Never had any trouble with them. I just wish they stocked more amps/cabinet brands so i could purchase more from them.
