23.4. We are very happy to announce that we've got four pedals in "Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets". Garry Kemp is occasionaly rocking his Moon Vibe MkII, and Lee Harris uses Pig Hoofs and Bananaboost. I could see the band in Lipzig, the sound was simply there (it made me feel very, very proud).

13.7. We ship to Canada.
-------------- 2016 --------------
23.9. Lee Harris of The Blockheads is a happy Pig Hoof MKII owner.
There is a waiting list for our pedals at the moment. New orders for Moon Vibe can't be completed before August 2021. New orders for other pedals can't be completed before August 2021. In stock (no waiting): nothing at the moment.
Brand new smart look for the old boy We have changed the look of our dear old Pig Hoof boys. Instead of the ordinary aluminum enclosure, we will now provide you with a custom made, sturdy metal enclosure. The graphics are silk-printed by hand on an aluminum plate and lacquered. For the same money, you get a way smarter look, a steel, old-fashioned battery door on the bottom side, and removable rubber feet - so if you want to stick Velcro on the bottom, simply unscrew the feet.
Pig Hoof is a replica of the Big Muff П (BMP) model, that was manufactured by Electro Harmonix around mid 70's under nickname "Ram's Head". If you are into the Big Muff history we advise you to visit this brilliant and comprehensive Kitrae's site. As David Gilmour devoted fans, we were just obliged to make our own Ram's Head clone. David purchased his model in around 1975 in Manny's, NY. In 1977 (during the Animals tour) the Ram's became his main distortion pedal, retiring the old silicon Fuzz Face for good. Since we were lucky enough to put our fingers on an original Ram's Head unit, we used that opportunity to gradually tweak the sound of our own prototype, so that it eventually sounded identical to the old guy.
We also offer a sound variant known as Pig Hoof MkII.
Original units used by: David Gilmour, Santana, Black Keys and tons of the other heroes

Pleasant features:

foot switch by Cliff
low capacity jack sockets by Cliff
extremely durable battery clips by Cliff
top quality Panasonic Low Voltage capacitors where needed
thick wires for the maximum sound fidelity and overall durability
firm and durable internal design
Powering:
9V battery or power adapter (50-100mA at minimum)

The battery life will be extended by unplugging the input jack when the pedal is not in use. Plugging in a DC jack also disconnects the battery and saves its life.
