Earthquaker Devices Hoof Fuzz V2

The Hoof is EarthQuaker Devices’ flagship fuzz pedal, trusted by thousands of players worldwide. From sweaty basement gigs to arena stages, this versatile fuzz has made its mark with a signature tone that's both massive and musical. It’s loosely inspired by the classic green Russian fuzz but designed with modern performance and reliability in mind.

At the heart of the Hoof is a hybrid Germanium/Silicon transistor configuration, offering the warmth and touch sensitivity of germanium with the consistency and stability of silicon. Each NOS germanium transistor is hand-matched for tonal integrity, ensuring every unit delivers rich sustain, creamy saturation, and smooth breakup without the unpredictability of vintage fuzz units.

With its carefully tuned circuit and intuitive controls, the Hoof is equally suited for fat leads, gritty rhythm work, or dynamic, responsive textures. It’s the fuzz that plays well with others—and delivers no matter where you plug it in.
