Fugazi has always been a band characterised by strong principals, but the bands guitar sound has been governed strongly by the “keep it simple” ethos. Attempting to achieve much with very little equipment, Fugazi seek to gain a stronger connection with their music without being saddled down by excess gear.

Guitars:

Guy:
A Sunburst Rickenbacker 330 with RIC HB1 humbuckers.
A Black Rickenbacker 330 with RIC HB1 humbuckers.

Ian:
A white 1970′s Gibson SG fitted with a Dimazrio Super distortion in the bridge.
A brown1970′s Gibson SG fitted with a Dimazrio Super distortion in the bridge

Left, Ian uses his white SG and Marshall JCM. Right Guy uses his sunburst Rick with his park amplifier.

Amplifiers:

Guy:
A Park 100 Watt head,
A Marshall JCM 800 2203 head,
A red Marshall JCM 800 412 cabinet fitted with 75 watt celestion speakers.

Ian:
A Marshall JCM800 100 watt 2204 [Horizontal Input],
Marshall JCM800 412 cabinet fitted with 65 watt celestion speakers.

Effects Pedals:

Guy:
An MXR Distortion plus,
A Budda Budwah,
An Echo park Echoplex.

Ian:
None used.

Notes:
Ian plugs directly into the high gain input in his JCM 800 and also keeps his presence and treble very low and bass and mids cranked on the amp.
Guy Also uses the MXR as a boost pedal.
Guy also alternates between the Park and the Marshall.
For more recent tours he has been seen using the Marshall.

The following is a guest review of the Devi Ever Shoegazer by Jack Broughan. If you are interested in guest posting, please contact me!

The first time I used this pedal I came quite close to vomiting on myself. Not because of any negative qualities of the pedal itself but rather because of the previous night’s festivities and that I had set the Volume knob at about half way. Needless to say this pedal is quite loud.

The pedal itself is handmade in Portland Oregon and boasts two pedals in its housing; the Torns Peaker and the Soda Meiser. Sitting squarely in the sonic territory of Big Black, My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Marry Chain and coupled with a very high output this pedal is not for the sensitive soul. The pedal features independent volume and tone knobs for each fuzz circuit. This allows for plenty of interaction between the two circuits. The Torn’s Peaker circuit at its tamest sounds like the chainsaw tone of Steve Albini. With the tone knob at quarter past the pedal begins to sound much thicker, akin to an EHX Big Muff. The Soda Meiser circuit provides and octave fuzz effect. Both circuits can be stacked together by toggling the bypass and aptly titled “more fuzz” switches. This creates a wall of squirming popping fuzz of monstrous proportions. If you love Fuzz then this pedal is for you.

The Devi Ever Shoegazer includes:
- true bypass
- mxr sized enclosure
- boutique quality components
- incredibly low mA draw
- silicon transistor based
- enclosure size : 4.7″ x 3.7″ x 1.18″
- 9 volt, 2.1 mm, negative tip power jack
- 9 volt battery snap inside (unscrew the back plate)

Here’s a Demo by Devi.
