EarthQuaker Devices Hoof Fuzz

The Hoof is a no-fuss, easy to use device capable of sounds from warm, gritty overdrive to a huge sustaining fuzz. It’s a germanium/silicon hybrid muff style fuzz (based on the old green russian muff) with massive amounts of volume on tap and smooth amp-like sustain. It has a tighter, cleaner sound than most muff’s which makes it more cutting and discernible in a band setting. The shift control is the key to the Hoof’s character, it alters the frequency response of the tone control. Clockwise scoops the mids and counterclockwise enhances the mids. The Hoof has become the go-to fuzz for many well known fuzz connoisseurs. All analog, true bypass and handmade in cloudy Akron, Ohio.

 

* There is no audible difference between the hoof pictured and the previous gold box version. The circuit is EXACTLY the same.
