The Devi Ever FX Silver Rose is a dual fuzz pedal built around two independent sides. The left side is based on Dwarfcraft Devices' Eau Claire Thunder Fuzz, and the right side is what the maker and reviewers call the Super Fuzz side. Pedal of the Day's Mike B, reviewing the updated version in July 2015, called it "a mammoth of a fuzz," and noted that the first version "has been a sought-after pedal for some time."1
The two sides
Each side carries its own controls and can be used on its own. On the left side, the Eau Claire Thunder-based side, Pedal of the Day found that "Both great overdrive and fuzz tones can be found here when this side is running on it's own," so it reaches beyond fuzz into overdrive territory.1
The reviewer summed up the pedal's range this way:
"From smooth overdriven sounds to walls of buzzsaws and hornets"
The controls
| Side | Controls | Switches and toggles |
|---|---|---|
| Left (Eau Claire Thunder-based) | Volume, Tone, Gain | Warp toggle, Tone cut switch |
| Right (Super Fuzz) | Volume, Gain | Bias knob, Mids switch |
The Warp toggle on the left side "gets into sludgy, stoner-rock territory" according to the review, and the Tone cut switch adds further tonal options. On the right side, the Bias knob is "great for adding compression or sustain, depending on which way you turn it," and the Mids switch "helps produce some dark and dirty overtones when flipped."1
The EQ section and clean output
The Silver Rose features an EQ section with simple Treble and Bass knobs that can be switched on or off, capable of boosting both frequencies up to 10dB.1
There is also a second output specifically for the clean signal, which is controllable and able to produce an 11x boost. That makes it possible to blend an unaffected signal alongside the fuzz, or to use the clean side as a substantial boost into an amp.1
Background and versions
The Silver Rose reviewed by Pedal of the Day in 2015 was a new version of the pedal, arriving "With a couple tweaks and an updated design/layout" following the first version, which had been a sought-after pedal for some time.1
The left side of the Silver Rose is based on the Dwarfcraft Devices Eau Claire Thunder Fuzz, a separate pedal reviewed by Delicious Audio in 2012. That pedal's Timewarp toggle switches out two different sets of clipping diodes, changing the pedal's attitude from vintage to modern, a design idea from the circuit the Silver Rose draws on.2
Devi Ever FX built a range of fuzzes beyond the Silver Rose, including the Devi Ever FX God Zilla, the Devi Ever FX Soda Meiser, the Devi Ever FX Shoe Gazer and the Devi Ever FX BDSM.

Questions
What is the Devi Ever FX Silver Rose based on?
The Silver Rose is a two-sided fuzz. According to Pedal of the Day's review, the left side is based on Dwarfcraft Devices' Eau Claire Thunder Fuzz, while the right side is the Super Fuzz side, described by the reviewer as a ballsy fuzz that apologizes to no one. Each side has its own controls and can run on its own, with the left side producing both overdrive and fuzz tones when used alone.
What does the Warp toggle do on the Silver Rose?
The Warp toggle sits on the left side of the pedal, the side based on the Eau Claire Thunder. Pedal of the Day's reviewer describes it as getting into sludgy, stoner-rock territory. The left side also carries a Tone cut switch, which the reviewer says adds more options and tonal possibilities.
Does the Silver Rose have a clean output?
Yes. The Silver Rose has a second output specifically for the clean signal, which is also controllable. Pedal of the Day's review says that clean output is able to produce an 11x boost, so it can be used to blend an unprocessed signal with the fuzz or to push an amp.
Can the two sides of the Silver Rose be used separately?
Yes. Each side has its own Volume and Gain controls, and Pedal of the Day notes that both great overdrive and fuzz tones can be found on the left side when it is running on its own. The right side, the Super Fuzz side, has its own Volume and Gain plus a Bias knob and a Mids switch.
What does the Bias knob do on the Super Fuzz side?
The Bias knob is on the right side of the pedal, the Super Fuzz side. Pedal of the Day's reviewer describes it as great for adding compression or sustain, depending on which way you turn it. That side also has a Mids switch that helps produce dark and dirty overtones when flipped.
