EarthQuaker Devices Hoof germanium/silicon hybrid fuzz

Allmänt

The Hoof Fuzz is what started it all for EarthQuaker Devices back in 2004. Today, this pedal is still one of the maker's flagship models, and that certainly isn't very surprising if you consider the fact that it's been loaded with both Germanium and silicone condensers. As a result, the Hoof V2 shapes ultimately flexible fuzz effects with lots of sustain, tasty harmonics and a rich and well-defined overall sound. The secret weapon of this true bypass pedal is the Shift control, which not only tweaks the trebles but adds definition to the bass to give you full control over the fuzziness. From lightly saturated to full-scale fuzz, the EarthQuaker Devices Hoof Fuzz gives you what you want. Hand-crafted in Akron, Ohio (USA).

Earthquaker Devices

The American company Earthquaker Devices was founded in 2004 by accident. When a potentiometer on founder and guitarist Jamie Stillman's favourite overdrive pedal suddenly broke, he decided to take matters into his own human hands and repair it himself. To his surprise - when he opened the pedal, he found the circuitry a lot easier to understand than he expected and it wasn't long before he made his very first pedal. Stillman launched Earthquaker Devices while he was still working as a tour manager for none other than The Black Keys. The upstart and innovator of a stompbox builder has since grown in popularity and now, Earthquaker Devices are renowned for offering off-the-wall yet affordable handwired boutique-style pedals that have been lovingly built by musicians for musicians!
