Enhance your musical performance with the Hoof V2 Germanium/Silicon Hybrid Fuzz Pedal, a globally recognized and widely used fuzz pedal. This premium-quality pedal has graced numerous stages, from intimate local gigs to the prestigious Madison Square Garden, demonstrating its versatility and reliability.

The Hoof V2 is inspired by the iconic green Russian fuzz circuit, but it takes a step further by integrating a hybrid Germanium/Silicon design. This unique combination ensures maximum tonal quality and temperature stability, a feature often lacking in vintage units that are both finicky and costly.

Our commitment to quality is evident in our meticulous hand-matching process for our NOS Germanium transistors. We adhere to strict specifications to ensure consistency from pedal to pedal, eliminating any uncertainty when you choose the Hoof V2. This guarantees that your Hoof V2 will deliver the same smooth, natural, and harmonically-rich sustain that has made it a favorite among musicians.

The Hoof V2 offers a range of controls for a customized sound experience. The Shift control adjusts the mid content, allowing for scooped mids when turned clockwise and boosted mids when turned counterclockwise. The Tone control lets you balance between Bass and Treble, while the Level control adjusts the volume. The Fuzz control lets you dial in the perfect amount of fuzz, from light to heavy.

The Hoof V2 also comes with suggested settings for different sound experiences, including Axe Attack, Bong Water Fuzz, The Horrors of Hoof Harvest Ridge, and Old Oak Fuzz. These settings cater to a variety of musical styles and preferences, making the Hoof V2 a versatile addition to any pedalboard.

This device is true bypass and uses electronic relay-based switching for seamless operation. It requires a standard 9-volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. For optimal performance and minimal noise, we recommend using pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Please note that the device will not pass audio without power and should not be run at higher voltages.

In conclusion, the Hoof V2 Germanium/Silicon Hybrid Fuzz Pedal is a reliable, versatile, and high-quality device that offers a range of controls for a personalized sound experience. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a beginner, the Hoof V2 is a worthy addition to your musical equipment.
