Today’s Free Shirt Wednesday submission is Tone Factor! Tone Factor is definitely a go-to place for guitar/bass effects out there, and have really created a name for itself. I’ve dealt with Brad Fee over there in the past – previous EffectsBay.com sponsored give-aways and recently the Mojo Hand Gyro review, and he’s been absolutely great. Every time I call Tone Factor, Brad is there and available to take my call… I definitely respect and appreciate that!

If you’re unfamiliar with Tone Factor, here is their brief ‘about’ statement:

Tone Factor is great in how they offer many of the well know manufacturers as well as some obscure builders. For example, I use a Audio Crowther Hot Cake.. which I love and they carry that. That pedal can be hard to find at times.

Tone Factor also has a great YouTube channel where they demo their pedals (they have over 3,000 subscribers!). Also, check them out on Twitter, since they do announce new arrivals and deals often there.

Now, if you want to be featured on Free Shirt Wednesday.. it’s really quite simple. Send me a shirt, if it’s music related (ie: guitar builder, band, pedal builder, guitar shop, recording studio, etc) I’ll dedicate a blog post about your biz, band, etc. I’ll take a photo with my aging, slightly pudgy mug and post it. Great simple, cheap form of advertising. Still interested? Then check this page for more info

Hello Everyone!

I received my Devi Ever LP in the mail. I know many of you are familiar with Devi Ever. I have fallen in love with these pedals. I discovered Devi Ever whilst looking for noise pedals and interesting pedals to add to my rig.

You can look up www.deviever.com to read the full description about the LP. I thought I would give you my own take:

The Devi Ever LP is an overdrive with a broken record skipping effect. It’s skipping effect is pretty random, but it gets more intense when you mess with the “control” knob. Then again, this pedal only has two knobs: volume and control.

Most of the demos on DeviEver’s YouTube seem to be done direct, with no amp. This is a problem to me because I know direct-in recording is completely different compared to speakers. I kind of bought this one out of faith, but I was not disappointed

The thing you notice right away is the overdrive. It’s a very unique sounding overdrive. I haven’t really heard it before, so I cannot compare it to anything. If anyone can, by all means, comment! It’s not too fuzzy, but it’s not one-dimensional like so many other overdrives I’ve heard before. It has a unique body… almost like it relies on texture to make it’s point.

However, if you are like me, and you turn your controls all the way up before striking a single note, you would have noticed the skipping first. The effect really is like that of a broken record. I’ve also noticed that along with the control knob, the skipping effect is very touch-sensitive. I lightly picked a few chords without hearing anything, but as soon as I layed into an open chord, you immediately hear skipping and glitches thrown into the mix. It’s delicious.

Devi Ever recommends you play around with it until you find a setting you like. I personally have found every setting wonderful.

Writing this review has finally given me the perfect analogy of the Devi Ever LP–and quite possibly ever Devi Ever pedal ever made: these pedals are the equivalent of putting potato chips in sandwiches. Sure, you have your meat (or meatless patties), tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, and condiments, but ever now and then you want to throw in some real contrast when it comes to texture. The crunch of the potato chip perfectly compliments everything. The LP is a pedal of overdrive texture and texture by way of a skipping signal.

I have included a modest video demo, but a search on YouTube can yield Devi Ever’s demo as well.

I love it, and you should too

Kevin Ian Common recently used a power drill for sound contrast and paid for it in blood. He plays guitar and sings in The Common Men, a Post-Punk trio from Northern California. They are on Facebook and Twitter, but you can find them @ www.myspace.com/thecommonmen for all updated information and sound files.

You can pick up the Devi Ever LP at Tone Factor for $97.50

Today I wanted to talk about the Mojo Hand Sugar Baby Tremolo. Everyone knows about the pedal give-away, where we’re giving away a Mojo Hand Sugar Baby Tremolo for FREE right?? If not, please register to win this pedal on the following post “Pedal Give-Away Contest :: Mojo Hand Sugar Baby Tremolo“. I’m only taking one more day of entries, so please Re-Tweet and Re-Post this give-away. Like before, if we continue to have good numbers with the give-away, I’ll be able to continue to offer more in the future!

The Mojo Hand pedals are crafted by Brad Fee, who also owns and operates Tone Factor. I came across a great post by What’s That Dude Play, where he interviewed Brad and talked about Mojo Hand.

So, let’s get down to the nitty gritty on the Mojo Hand Sugar Baby Tremolo. Let’s use Brad’s to-the-point description: “Inspired by amp trems from years gone by, the Sugar Baby is pure vintage sweetness.”

Here is the official pedal specs:

Inspired by amp trems from years gone by, the Sugar Baby is pure vintage sweetness. The Speed Control works like a brake. The more brake you apply the slower it goes. Depth controls the depth of the throb. It becomes noticeable around 9 o’clock or so on the dial. Increase depth for more pronounced throb or harder chop. Volume can be adjusted via the internal trim pot.

True Bypass Switching
Custom Powder Coat Finish
9 Volt Center Negative DC Jack
Made in USA Construction

I also have a video by ToneFactor:

Again, I’d like to personally thank Brad of Tone Factor.  I’ve been talking with him over the last few weeks about the possibility of a contest for the site, and he’s been incredibly supportive!
