ELECTRO HARMONIX Lizard King Bass Octave Fuzz

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Lizard King Bass Octave Fuzz Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Lizard King is the new heir to the octave fuzz throne, specifically designed for bassists. Inspired by the 2023 collaboration between EHX and JHS (Josh Scott), the "Lizard Queen," this pedal adopts the same unique circuit but is optimized for bass guitar. With updated tone controls and a new Blend knob, it preserves your instrument's fundamental low frequencies while allowing the high frequencies to dominate the mix.

This is a fixed-gain effect that dynamically reacts to your playing style and instrument volume. Reducing the bass volume produces a clear, slightly "dirty" overdrive, while turning the volume all the way up delivers a powerful and aggressive solo tone. The unique Sun/Shadow switch allows you to change the character of the effect: "Sun" mode boosts the octave with punchy mid-frequencies, while "Shadow" provides a tighter, cleaner sound.

Key Features

• Optimized for Bass: Preserves low frequencies and attack dynamics.
• Blend Control: Allows mixing a clean bass signal with the fuzz effect (from 100% clean to 100% effect).
• Dynamic Response: The intensity of the effect depends on the position of the instrument's volume knob.
• Sun/Shadow Switch:
  • Sun: Emphasizes the octave, provides more "drive" in the mid-frequencies, and adds high/low frequencies to the clean signal.
  • Shadow: The clean signal remains unchanged, and the fuzz tone becomes tighter.
• Tone Control: Low-pass filter that softens the high frequencies of the fuzz effect.
• Octave Control: Adjusts the intensity of the octave effect (retro-style octave).
