EarthQuaker Devices Hoof Germanium / Silicon Hybrid Fuzz Effect Pedal - V2

The Hoof V2 is EarthQuaker Devices’ flagship fuzz, and when you hear it you’ll instantly know why. Loosely based on a classic green Russian muff-style circuit, and featuring a unique hybrid Germanium/Silicon design, the Hoff V2 is set to spit out rich, smooth fuzz tones full of natural harmonic overtones and enough sustain to make Santana stop in his tracks and take note.

• Hybrid germanium/ silicon fuzz – for rich and smooth fuzz tones
• Hand tested NOS germanium transistors
• Shift knob selects center frequency of the Tone control
• True bypass – Silent soft-touch switching
• Analog dry-through
• Top-mounted jacks – for effortless pedalboard implementation

The Hoof has a wide gain range, providing everything from dirty and organic amp-like overdrive, to monstrous fuzz madness. This, paired with the “Shift” control allows you total tonal access, as the “Shift” knob works with the “Tone” control to alter the overall frequency response of the Hoof.

Use the “Shift” to boost the highs for a glassy, cutting top-end; use it to cut out some low-mid mud; use it to add some thick stoner rock sludge; use it on bass; use it to combat the muff-style fuzz’s notorious “mid scoop;”. The Hoof’s distinctive, fuzzy character is tight and controlled without sacrificing any “guts,” so to speak, so even the gnarliest fuzz tones will sit well in the mix.
