Hoof

The Hoof by EarthQuaker Devices is a flagship fuzz pedal known for its versatile capabilities. It is a germanium/silicon hybrid Muff-style fuzz, based on the classic green Russian fuzz circuit, offering warm, gritty overdrive to a sustaining fuzz. The pedal features a tight, clean sound, making it more cutting and discernible in a band setting. The shift control alters the frequency response of the tone control, allowing for a variety of tonal options. The Hoof is designed with massive amounts of volume and smooth, amp-like sustain. Additionally, it has become a go-to fuzz for many well-known fuzz connoisseurs.

The Hoof Reaper Double Fuzz with Octave Up combines the popular Hoof and Tone Reaper fuzz pedals in one enclosure with the added bonus of an old school analog octave up. It is capable of creating everything from subtle octave-up overtones to crushing octave squalls that simulate exploding stacks of amps. Each effect can be used individually as well as in series, with the order of effects preset for optimum performance.

The controls for the Hoof include Level (output volume), Fuzz (sustain and gain), Tone (treble to the right, bass to the left), and Shift (controls the mid frequencies). The Tone Reaper features controls for Level (output volume), Fuzz (sustain and nature), and Tone (treble to the left, bass to the right). The Octave effect adds a classic monophonic octave up that will add a swelling octave to the fuzz tone.

The Hoof by EarthQuaker Devices is designed to offer a wide range of tones, from warm overdrive to sustaining fuzz, making it a versatile and sought-after pedal for guitarists.
