Need your help!! (devi ever eye of god content)

Sign in to disble this ad
So, my band is starting to take a noise/space/ambient route to our songs, so I'm working on my board to support that.

I'm looking at the Devi Ever Eye of God. it looks sweet if it does what its supposed to do for me, does anybody have any experience with it?

I'm looking for feedback swells and decays, which i guess can be controlled by moving my foot, which would be great.

At my disposal,

Tu-2
Ls-2
EXH BBM
Dunlop Bass Wah
Line 6 M9
Boss DD-5
Digitech Whammy 4 (may be sold)
various cheap distortion pedals.

I'm thinking i have to keep my M9 out of the loop of the Eye of God, so it can be accessed without the feedback looper, I'm pretty set on putting the DD-5 in the Eye of God, and possible a flanger or phaser.

Any signal order, or pedal suggestions, Ideas at all?

Thanks guys

I have two feedback loopers, one the eye of god and the other is from road rage...

roadrage sounds,... almost like a boss pedal? its vanilla falvoured, sounds very hi fi and 'clean' (almost digitalish???) this can be a good thing and it does have a bypass loop/feedback loop so can turn the feedback off and use the pedals as per normal...

the eye of god is almost like an analg delay sound,... somehow she makes it darker and more natural... very awesome for background sounds behind a main riff. There is only the feedback loop in it so all pedals will be 'off' when you turn the eye of god off leaving them unusable,... apparently it can easily be done to modify but im lazy and have no soldering skills! lol
the switch turns the photo eye on or off,... using this can be awesome to make swelled parts or to use as a volume pedal of sorts (ie low throbbing feedback of distortion and delay can then be used in different ways, using the photo eye to change volume or tone etc)

I've only ever plugged in a whole pedalboard at once experimenting so have no idea how a good setup would be,... some pedals may not do alot unless they have a distortion running through them first in the loop or something else to 'excite' them... also really cool to use a wah as a pitch shifter to control noises,... can almost get some dance sounds out of a loop when using distortion delay and wah (you know the ones where the sound and beat stays the same but just slowly increases in pitch)

most of all, have fun

I find this comparison very suspicious. There is pretty much no difference in the circuits of these 2 boxes, and indeed all feedback loopers. They have no inherent tone - all they do is connect an effect's output to its own input (or a series of effects' out to its own input). Unless Devi somehow really bunged up the design, there isn't any reason that they should sound different. Have you actually used them with the same pedals set to the same settings?

I had a Devi Ever Spectacular Aenima for a while, which has an Eye of God built into it. I tried it out with several fuzzes, a flanger, and a delay. All of them worked splendidly. The fuzzes made a wall of noise. The delay works great for creating oscillating madness. With the flanger, it basically just made the notches more resonant, which creates a very hollow, metallic pinging sound, although with some flangers (like the Flanger Hoax), it will actually self-oscillate as well.

sorry I should have put all that as YMMV, IMHO, etc etc...

your right its probably no difference at all, maybe just the way the use of the eye tricks my ears into thinking this? and could have been different settings I was using when I compared them so they probably do produce all the same noises

I like the use of the bypass on the road rage so it can use the pedals both in a feedback loop and then just normally.

I also like the use of the eye as an expression input just a pity I'm not smart enough to build my own that has both (as I have seen some people do that before)
