Overview:

• The Hoof V1 is EarthQuaker Devices’ flagship fuzz pedal, celebrated by guitarists worldwide.
• It draws inspiration from the classic green Russian fuzz circuit but adds its own unique twist.

Hybrid Design:

• The Hoof features a hybrid Germanium/Silicon design.
• This pairing ensures both maximum tone and temperature stability, a rare combination not often found in vintage fuzz units.
• The use of NOS Germanium transistors ensures consistent performance across pedals.

Controls:

• Shift: Adjusts the mid content—clockwise for scooped mids, counterclockwise for boosted.
• Tone: Shifts between bass (left) and treble (right).
• Level: Controls overall volume.
• Fuzz: Clockwise for heavy fuzz, counterclockwise for a lighter touch.

Suggested Settings:

• Axe Attack!: Crank up the Hoof for molten shreds of slicing steel—a volume hammer for warriors and riff wizards.
• Bong Water Fuzz: Legendary warm, smoke-filled tones for those who tune down and drop out.
• Horrors of Hoof Harvest Ridge: An ancient mythological legend with bone-chilling sustain.
• Old Oak Fuzz: Super filthy, thick, and resonant—perfect for mid-tempo stomping.
