Hoof
The Hoof is a hybrid germanium/silicon fuzz pedal loosely based on the classic green Russian fuzz circuit. It suits guitarists and bassists who want a thick, sustaining fuzz with a Shift control for shaping the mids.
- Hybrid germanium/silicon fuzz based on the green Russian fuzz circuit
- Hand-matched NOS germanium transistors for consistency
- Controls: Fuzz, Level, Tone, Shift (mid scoop/boost)
- True bypass with relay-based switching; needs power to pass audio
- 9 V DC, 2.1 mm negative center, 15 mA
- Limited lifetime warranty

The Hoof is a fuzz pedal built around a hybrid design that pairs NOS germanium transistors with silicon. The aim is the tone of a vintage-style fuzz with better temperature stability than old germanium units. The germanium transistors are hand-matched to set specifications so that one pedal sounds like the next.
Four knobs control the sound: Fuzz sets the amount of gain, Level sets the output volume, Tone moves the balance from bass to treble, and Shift adjusts mid content, scooping the mids when turned clockwise and boosting them when turned counterclockwise. Suggested settings and audio samples for both guitar and bass are provided by the maker.
The pedal uses true bypass with electronic relay-based switching, so audio does not pass when the pedal is unpowered. It runs from a 9 V DC supply with a 2.1 mm negative-center barrel and draws 15 mA. The unit carries a limited lifetime warranty.
