Seller's description

The EarthQuaker Devices Hoof V2 is a Germanium/Silicon hybrid fuzz pedal designed to deliver thick saturation, smooth sustain and powerful low-end weight while retaining enough clarity to cut through a full band mix. Loosely inspired by the classic green Russian-style fuzz circuit, the Hoof combines hand-matched NOS Germanium transistors with Silicon components for a balance of vintage-style warmth and dependable modern consistency. Its dedicated Shift control lets you shape the midrange response, moving from scooped, heavy fuzz to more focused mid-forward tones. Capable of everything from gritty lower-gain drive to huge sustaining fuzz, the Hoof V2 is ideal for rock, stoner, doom, alternative, grunge, psychedelic, indie and heavy guitar or bass tones.
