EarthQuaker Devices Hoof V2 Fuzz Germanium/Silicon Hybrid Fuzz

Heavy Fuzz Horsepower — With A Midrange Bite! Saddle up the EarthQuaker Devices Hoof Fuzz pedal and get ready for tones that’ll raise the hairs on the back of your neck. This dynamic fuzz features handmade, all-analog germanium/silicon hybrid circuitry, a wide range of EQ control, a secure chassis with vintage-style graphics, and multiple controls to dial in the distortion. And you’ll be surprised by the wide dynamic reach this pedal offers — from crispy overdrive to full-blown fuzz, the Hoof is more than a one-trick pony.

EarthQuaker Devices shows you all the fuzzy grit you can get out of the Hoof:

Wide Range of Distortion and Fuzz Tones The Hoof is a flexible pedal — it traverses a wide-open range of styles for musicians of pretty much any genre to explore. If you keep your fuzz pretty low, you can use this pedal as a volume boost with just a slight amount of crisp breakup, and when you push it to the max, then you’re in for a world of earth-shaking fuzz. You’ll also get a very smooth and natural sustain out of this baby — a quality that makes it a little more similar to overdriven amplifiers than muff-style fuzzes.

Handmade All-Analog Circuitry This stompbox features all-analog, handmade germanium/silicon hybrid circuitry for a sound that’s based on the character of the classic green Russian muff. Your signal will get lots of fuzzy love and cartloads of organic and natural character that’ll attract attention from everyone within earshot. A secure outer chassis with a distinctive Hoof design keeps this bad horsey’s inner circuitry protected through every stomp, and a true bypass system keeps your signal’s original character unaffected when your Hoof Fuzz is disengaged.

Tone Controls: Harness the Hoof Easy-to-grip and turn tone, level, and fuzz controls hand you the reins so you can dial in the amount of overdrive or fuzz you’re looking for. Your tone control determines how bright or dark your sound becomes, and your level control dials in the decibels. Go anywhere from a light and crispy breakup to a monstrous wall of fuzz in seconds by playing around with your fuzz control. There is a ton of sonic ground to explore when you really get to know how this pedal plays.

Cut Through the Mix with the Shift Control Knob The shift control on your Hoof Fuzz pedal gives you a little extra edge to control the sonic contour of your sound. This dial changes the frequency response of the tone control, mostly on the treble side, while at the same time allowing you to minimize the muddiness that can sneak in around the low and low-mid frequency range of your output. This control allows you to be sure that your engaged tone will make its way through the mix for solos or licks.
