Hoof®
Hybrid Fuzz
$179.00
Our flagship fuzz pedal can be found on thousands of pedalboards around the world and has rocked countless stages from stinky suburban basements to Madison Square Garden. Twice.
The Hoof is loosely based on the classic green Russian fuzz circuit and features a hybrid Germanium/Silicon design, pairing maximum tone with maximum temperature stability not found in finicky and expensive vintage units. We hand-match our NOS Germanium transistors to exacting specifications for pedal-to-pedal consistency, taking the guesswork out of your fuzz purchase, and guaranteeing that your Hoof delivers the same smooth, natural, and harmonically-rich sustain as all your friends’ Hoofs. All your friends have Hoof fuzzes, right?

Axe Attack!
Take hold of the Hoof before the storm molten shreds of slicing steel. Warriors and wizards of fisted riffs all hail the mighty power of the volume hammer!
Bong Water Fuzz
Legendary ultimate warm smoke filled erotica. Tune down / drop out.
The Horrors of Hoof Harvest Ridge
It’s an ancient mythological legend of wildwood haunted by a coven of Baphonet beasts. A brutal, blood-splattered, bone-chilling tale... This setting was used in the frightening scenes. (We swear it’s true!)
Old Oak Fuzz
Super filthy and thick like an old forest yet articulate and resonant. Perfect for loud mid-tempo stomping.

Power
This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We 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! -
