Devi Ever Love?
Just ordered myself a Devi Ever GZ and a Torn's Peaker from tonefactor.com. Am excite.
I had been meaning to get me some Devi Ever for a while now, but Vintage and Rare Guitars in Denmark street appears to be one of the few stockists in the UK, and they're certainly not cheap.
Tonefactor has a black friday sale on 'til tomorrow if anyone's interested (code: Black15), so I didn't pay international shipping and got $15 off too.
So is there Devi Ever love here?

I have serious love for the Torn's Peaker, want one really bad. I've also got a boner for the Hyperion. Wish there was a dual unit box actually, sort of like a shoe gazer but with the Hyperion instead of the sodameiser.

I have a U.S. Fuzz.
I have never used for anything band related but I love it all the same.

I was under the impression that Customs Dut only applied to imports with a total value over £135? From my past experience of getting stuff shipped over from the States it all seems a bit fly by wire how they work out whether you need to pay import tax or not.benecol wrote:... plus 22% import tax, and £10 benecol comedy tax.
Oh well, we'll see how this one works out. If I'm going to be vigorously shafted by HM Revenue and Customs then so be it...
Its also xmas therefore my wages are going on buying people giftswilllin wrote:I think with the offer code on Tonefactor, the Shoegazer and delivery works out at £118, which is pretty good considering Vintage and Rare were charging £175. I'll shut up now before I start sounding like an advert...mrperson wrote:I really want a shoegaze but its not cheap
I don't think it would go down too well if I bought someone this pedal with the hope they'd give it back to me

Devi stuff is cool. I worked for her for a short time and got to play a bunch of her stuff.
She only has a hand full of circuits though, so her double pedals are just that, two of her circuits in one box with a new name. So research up whats in them boxes. I think she actually says what all her double pedals are made of. Like the shoegazer is something like a torn's peaker and a 33 or something. I have a hyperion on my board and I love it to death. I had a shoegazer too, but I dig the hyperion more. Its like a more focused and crazy big muff with more of a gated effect and responds to the volume knob AMAZINGLY. Thats one thing with devi pedals, get good at working that volume knob to get the best sound.
Oh and the joystick stuff is butloads of fun, though thats Dwarfcraft now.
She was a really cool person to get to know too, so buy some of her shit.

Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs wrote:Q: I have been charged VAT and duty for goods bought over the Internet, why is this?
A; All goods imported into the UK from countries outside the European Union are subject to Import Duty and VAT at the rates applicable. However, import VAT is not payable on commercial consignments if the total value of the goods in the consignment does not exceed £18. This limit is raised to £40 for personal gifts between private individuals. If this tax was not applied, there would clearly be an unfair advantage to foreign businesses over UK trade.
Where the value of gifts is below £290 per consignment, a flat rate of duty of 2.5 per cent will be applied - but only if it is to your advantage.
With effect from 1 December 2008, customs duty will not be applied on goods with a value less than £105.

Errr ... no. I think the lower limit is something like £18 for goods or £36 for anything marked as a gift. I think you're going to get screwed here. Also don't forget the Royal Mail 'admin fee' which is either £8 or £13 and you have to pay VAT on the postage cost too. If the seller puts the full cost of the pedal on the customs form (as opposed to the discounted price) that'll affect what you pay too. Let's hope it arrives before the VAT increase on the 4th Jan.willlin wrote:I was under the impression that Customs Dut only applied to imports with a total value over £135?

I just bought a True Bypass Looper kit from GGG (cost £26) and a bill from the Royal Mail arrived asking for £11.31 for customs charges, I was not amused - I could have got Mike to build me one for less.
