Earthquaker Hoof Reaper V2 Dual Octave Fuzz Pedal

The Hoof Reaper, from EarthQuaker Devices, has been updated with flex-function switching over its analog octave feature! This newly-implemented flex switch silent relay-based switching allows the pedal to achieve traditional latching or momentary operation.

The Hoof Reaper is a combination of EarthQuaker's Hoof and Tone Reaper fuzz pedals. However, the Hoof Reaper differs from both of its predecessors in that it offers old school analog octave-up functionality. This makes it capable of subtle octave-up overtones and volcanic flurries of fuzz-laden glory. Each effect can be used independently or in series, though their configuration within the signal path is predetermined.
