Earthquaker devices Hoof Reaper User Manual
<<< Flexi-Switching >>>
This device features Flexi-Switch™ Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style
allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching-style switching.
• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap
again to bypass.
• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect.
Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed.
Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.
<<< Power Requirements >>>
• Current Draw: 18mA
• This device take a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We
always recommend pedal-specic, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple
isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power.
Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specic power supplies do not lter
dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!

OPERATION MANUAL
The Hoof Reaper™ features our popular Hoof™ and Tone Reaper™ fuzz pedals in one handy
enclosure with the added bonus of an old school analog octave up. It was originally released as
a special limited run item back in 2010 and demand was so high that we decided to reintroduce
it back into our line. Capable of creating everything from subtle octave up overtones through
crushing octave squalls that simulate exploding stacks of amps. Each effect can be used
individually, as well as in series but the order of effects is preset for optimum performance.
Available switching combos:
Hoof Alone
Reaper Alone
Octave Alone
Reaper + Octave
Hoof + Octave
Hoof + Reaper
Hoof + Reaper + Octave
Use the individual switches to activate the level of mayhem you wish to unleash.
Hoof
Our agship device! The Hoof is a no-fuss, easy-to-use device capable of sounds from warm,
gritty overdrive to a huge, sustaining fuzz. It’s a germanium/silicon hybrid Muff-style fuzz
(based on the old green Russian muff) with massive amounts of volume on tap and smooth
amp-like sustain. It has a tighter, cleaner sound than most Muf f’s which makes it more cutting
and discernible in a band setting. The shift control is the key to the Hoof’s character, it alters
the frequency response of the tone control. Clockwise scoops the mids and counterclockwise
enhan c e s th e mi d s . Th e Ho o f ha s be c o m e th e go - t o fu z z fo r ma ny we l l -known fuz z co n n o isseurs.
Tone Reaper
The Tone Reaper is a vintage style fuzz device based on the “3 knob” bender. It’s a silicon/
germanium hybrid capable of producing a wide range of tones from every bender era with
careful tweaking of the To n e and Fuzz controls. From thin and spitty, to thick, growling sustain;
it’s all here.
Octave
This is a classic monophonic octave up that will add a swelling octave to the fuzz tone! Since
it is monophonic, the effect will be more pronounced when using the neck pickup and playing
above the 12th fret.
