The germanium transistors are new old stock and matched by hand. Each pedal therefore behaves like the next, a consistency that is hard to get from all-germanium fuzzes.
Shift adjusts the mid content of the fuzz. Clockwise it scoops the mids, as many Muff-style circuits do, and counter-clockwise it pushes them forward. Tone sweeps from bass-heavy to bright, and Fuzz sets the amount of saturation.
The footswitch uses a relay for true bypass, so no signal passes while the pedal is unpowered.

Fuzz
EarthQuaker Devices Hoof is a fuzz pedal that mixes germanium and silicon transistors in a circuit loosely based on the green Russian Big Muff. Electro-Harmonix sells that circuit as the Green Russian Big Muff Pi. The current V2 revision dates from 2017.
