I do buy a lot of pedals though and if someone left me high and dry on a purchase I’d be furious.
Sad to see someone having a very public breakdown but this has happened more than once.
I’ve not seen anything anti-trans in the gear world.
I’m not saying it isn’t happening, I’ve just not seen it.
I’m not sure that whatever she has experienced can be extrapolated out as being somehow representative of the wider gear buying public seems a pretty great leap.
To conflate perceived anti-trans sentiments with personal finance issues + mental health issues and use this as an excuse for not honouring debts is, as it was the last time, pretty shit and not particularly credible.

These aren’t gear sites- they are troll hangouts.
In one instance she created this thread:
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/devi-ever-amber-coal-grace-lynn-pixelgoth.12128/
This does seem a bit attention seeking and frankly I’m not surprised things went sideways.
Why would someone who was just trying to run a pedal business get into those places?
What is to be gained from it?

It's pretty clear to pretty much everyone else that the route to success is via high quality products, with decent customer service, marketed through level-headed engagement with the existing gear community (ref Thorpy, Chase Bliss, Origin Effects, etc). DE has never delivered on any of these attributes, never mind all 3.
Iirc JHS made a Hyperion clone, but it's not news that they aren't remotely bothered about stealing other circuits and pretending they've invented them. Am I assume she threw a shit fit over that as well?
IMHO making a point of calling a trans person by their birth gender weakens any criticism you make of their behaviour and plays into their position that the gear industry is transphobic.
This has nothing to do with Devi’s gender, everything to do with repeated unethical behaviour.

This makes the argument about their gender, rather than their behaviour.

@stickyfiddle, yeah basically the Hyperion rip-off. The guy also tried to get their shared distributors to drop her as a result of her complaining about the Hyperion clone.
neither of the 2 of them impress me.
that dude's stuff either, as in JHS either, who is a dude. Also forgot the apostrophe denoting possession, "the stuff of the dude".
I also referred to Devi as "she" literally the sentence before.
As for devi ever - I struggle to understand anyone getting involved or parting with cash - it’s almost an annual event of letting people down and blaming the world instead of taking responsibility.
First JHS made their initial impact with the prayer and worship crowd ( as have various other small manufacturers) and Josh from JHS was linked to a right wing christian movement that pushed hate speech against minority groups. His links to this seem to have been debunked ( you'd need some deep googling but it has been done) although it still comes up as a reason to hate him.
Second JHS have been accused of taking other people's designs as the basis for their own pedals ( I guess that's what they did to Devi Ever). Whilst to a large extent many, many pedals are based off established designs Josh took very specific designs/ modifications done by other small makers and effectively claimed them as his own. There will be people on here who can give you chapter and verse ( no pun intended!) on this and this doesn't seem to have been debunked - he does seem to have claimed other people's work as his own.
Having watched some of his Vlogs on youtube he does seem to have an encyclopedic knowledge and keen to give credit to other manufacturers. So this background seems distinctly at odds with how he presents himself.
But, he lives in a world of making £300 overdrives so it's all academic to me!
