EarthQuaker Devices Hoof V2 – 2026 Custom: Flagship Hybrid Germanium/Silicon Fuzz with Unmatched Tonal Access

Experience the pinnacle of fuzz evolution with the EarthQuaker Devices Hoof V2 – 2026 Custom. As the flagship fuzz pedal from EarthQuaker Devices, the Hoof V2 is loosely based on the classic green Russian Muff-style circuit from the 1970s. Featuring a unique hybrid Germanium/Silicon design, this pedal delivers rich, smooth fuzz tones full of natural harmonic overtones and incredible sustain. It blends the distinctive character of a premium fuzz box with the dynamic, touch-sensitive feel of an overdriven valve amplifier, making it an essential addition to any high-performance guitar or bass rig.

Key Features

• Premium Germanium/Silicon Hybrid Circuit: Delivers smooth, organic, and rich fuzz tones. Every single NOS Germanium transistor in the Hoof V2 is hand-selected and matched to exacting specifications to guarantee pedal-to-pedal consistency and maximum tonal performance.
• Innovative “Shift” Control Frequency Calibration: Works in tandem with the “Tone” control to alter the overall frequency response. The Shift knob allows you to adjust the center frequency range, enabling you to boost the highs for cutting clarity, eliminate low-mid mud, or combat the notorious “mid scoop” associated with traditional muff-style pedals.
• Versatile Wide Gain Spectrum: Offers total tonal versatility, providing everything from dirty, dynamic amp-like overdrive to monstrous, thick stoner rock sludge. This wide gain range ensures it performs spectacularly well on both guitar and bass.
• Upgraded Silent Soft-Touch Switching (V2): Features an electronic relay-based true bypass system with high-durability soft-touch switches. It ensures silent, effortless on-stage operation and can withstand rigorous live touring abuse.
• Pedalboard-Friendly Design: Equipped with top-mounted jacks for effortless and clean pedalboard integration. It also features an analog dry-through signal path to keep your core instrument tone pure and unaffected.
