The Hoof is a fuzz modeled on the famous Big Muff Pi Russian. It uses Germanium transistors and silicon.
Its rather small size allows it to fit easily into a pedalboard.
The pedal is well finished and exudes serious, whether outside with the screen or inside the circuit, the knobs and footswitch. A jack input, output and power plug with negative center found. The pedal uses little in the 40-50 mV which is reasonable.
The pedal has 4 knobs: Level for volume, tone to adjust the equalization Fuzz for the saturation level and Shift which excavates or boost the mids. The Shift knob is the strong point of this pedal that can go from a really good dug a big bump in the midrange. This feature allows both to adjust the sound to its gear, the desired sound but also desired to be able to stand out in the mix sometimes provided!
A brochure of the company EarthQuaker Devices this as the flagship of the brand! Surely they first offered or sold more ... I do not know ...
UTILIZATION
Even with the 4 knobs, the sound editing is simple.
The rate of gain with the first knob with the Fuzz but also of allowing the volume to change from a Hoof good good overdrive couillu shoes off a sound teeth. I can not advise you to play with the volume to increase the rate of gain and can get really fat sound ... !
Furthermore, the interaction between the knobs and Tone Shift is important. This allows for exactly the sound you had in mind ... Sky is The Limit as they say!
In the end, it really is possible to have a bunch of sounds, from a rather fat overdrive to distortion that can suit many styles to finish on metal or fuzz sounds! All in a signal / noise ratio really good.
Pedal barely breath in the most extreme settings that can appreciate the quality of manufacturing and design.
SOUND QUALITY
I have not tested enough pedal to be able to talk seriously and come complete my mind later
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, a big impression! I will complete later.
