This used EarthQuaker Devices Hoof v2 is in mint condition and delivers the thick, smooth fuzz the pedal is known for. It’s built around the classic green Russian–style circuit but uses a hybrid Germanium/Silicon design for a more stable, reliable response than vintage units. EQD hand-matches their NOS Germanium transistors for consistency, so this Hoof v2 has the same rich sustain, natural compression, and harmonically dense fuzz you’d expect from any well-sorted Hoof. If you want that signature EQD muff-inspired voice with modern reliability, this one is as clean as they come.

The Hoof has a wide gain range, providing everything from dirty and organic amp-like overdrive, to monstrous fuzz madness. This, paired with the “Shift” control allows you total tonal access, as the “Shift” knob works with the “Tone” control to alter the overall frequency response of the Hoof.

Use the “Shift” to boost the highs for a glassy, cutting top-end; use it to cut out some low-mid mud; use it to add some thick stoner rock sludge; use it on bass; use it to combat the muff-style fuzz’s notorious “mid scoop;” use it however you’d like, just use it! The Hoof’s distinctive, fuzzy character is tight and controlled without sacrificing any “guts,” so to speak, so even the gnarliest fuzz tones will sit well in the mix.

The Hoof fuzz is all-analog, true bypass

Fuzz: Clockwise for heavy, counterclockwise for light.

Tone: Bass to the left, Treble to the right.

Level: Controls the output level.

Shift: Adjust the mid content. Clockwise for classic scooped mids, counterclockwise for the more modern cutting mids all the kids love.

EQD pedals take a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. They always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. Do not run at higher voltages!

Current draw is 3 mA.
