Electro-Harmonix x JHS Lizard Queen Octave Fuzz Pedal

Electro-Harmonix x JHS Lizard Queen Octave Fuzz Pedal: A Vintage-Inspired Fuzz Revolution
The Electro-Harmonix x JHS Lizard Queen Octave Fuzz Pedal is a true collaboration between EHX, JHS Pedals, and renowned artist Daniel Danger. This pedal embodies the spirit of Electro-Harmonix's golden age from the early '70s, combining vintage-inspired design with modern sonic capabilities. Whether you're a fuzz enthusiast or just discovering the world of octave fuzz, the Lizard Queen brings a unique and dynamic twist to your sound. From its fully blendable analog octave-up effect to its distinctive balance knob, this pedal is a powerful tool for crafting everything from subtle textures to full-on fuzz chaos.

Blendable Analog Octave for Endless Sonic Possibilities
The Lizard Queen’s standout feature is its analog octave-up knob, which allows you to dial in an octave effect with an impressive level of control. Unlike other octave fuzz pedals that are limited to on/off toggles, the Lizard Queen’s octave knob offers a wide range of options, from a slight clang to a full-on, vintage-inspired octave explosion. Whether you want to add a subtle shimmer to your fuzz or push the pedal to its limits for extreme octave sounds, the Lizard Queen’s blendable analog octave gives you the flexibility to craft exactly the tone you're after.

The Revolutionary Balance Knob for Tone and Gain Shaping
The Lizard Queen features a unique Balance knob that functions as a hybrid of both tone and gain control. As you rotate the knob, you can choose between two distinct tonal voices: the smooth, heavy "Shadow" setting and the aggressive, biting "Sun" setting. This control allows you to go from a thick, wall-of-sound fuzz to a sharp, trebly fuzz that cuts through the mix. The Balance knob is not a typical tone or gain control – it dramatically alters the personality of the pedal’s fuzz and interacts in creative ways with the octave effect, especially at higher settings. This gives players endless possibilities for sculpting their ideal fuzz tone, making it a versatile choice for a range of genres.

Fixed-Level Fuzz for Consistent Wall-of-Sound Performance
One of the key features of the Lizard Queen pedal is its fixed-level fuzz circuit, which provides a consistent, powerful wall of sound. While many fuzz pedals offer a variable gain control, the Lizard Queen's fuzz is designed to stay at a fixed level, focusing on a full-throttle, saturated sound. This fixed fuzz circuit is ideal for players who want to maintain a crushing, massive fuzz tone without worrying about constantly adjusting gain levels. Even though the fuzz is fixed, the pedal's dynamic response to other controls, like the Balance and Octave knobs, ensures that you have full control over your tone's expressiveness.

Compact Nano Enclosure with True Bypass Design
Despite its powerful features, the Electro-Harmonix Lizard Queen is housed in a compact nano-sized enclosure, making it an ideal choice for players with crowded pedalboards. Its small footprint allows you to save valuable space while still delivering a full spectrum of sounds. The pedal also features true bypass, ensuring that when it's disengaged, your clean tone remains unaltered. True bypass is essential for maintaining signal integrity, especially in larger pedal chains, ensuring that the Lizard Queen doesn't affect your sound when not in use.
