Earthquakerkept the tightness and clarity you loved about the Hoof, along with the wide range of fuzz sounds, and threw the rest away. NOS Germanium transistors? Nope! In their place, Earthquaker installed a set of four specially selected Silicon transistors for cleaner cleans, higher gain, improved temperature stability, and a grittier, grindier, nastier fuzz tone with over 4x the gain of the original Hoof. Earthquaker also replaced key resistors with NOS Carbon Comp components to sprinkle a little bit of vintage flavor into the Cloven Hoofs searing fuzz fury. Its like they always say, In with the old, out with the new.

The Tone and Shift controls remain intact, only now theyre re-voiced for a smoother sweep, and more precise control over the Cloven Hoofs beefy low-end. Speaking of low-end, have you heard this thing on bass? Wow. Try the Cloven Hoof on a bass guitar. Seriously. Trust us. You can still cut or boost the mids, and theres still a metric ton of output on tap, just do us a favor, and for the love of all thats Cloven, play this pedal with a bass guitar.

The Cloven Hoof is the perfect solution for those of you who wish the Hoof had more low-end, higher gain, and was just a little bit Hoofier.
