Electro-Harmonix Announces Lizard Bass Octave For Bass And Beyond



Electro-Harmonics introduced the Lizard King bass Octave & Fuzz pedal. It will become available in July of 2024.

Make way for the new heir to the octave fuzz throne, the Lizard King from Electro-Harmonix. Directly inspired by the EHX x JHS collaboration released in 2023, the Lizard King takes the gnarly and responsive octave fuzz circuit from the Lizard Queen and optimizes it for bass and beyond. With updated tone controls and a new Blend knob, the bass’s fundamental tone and low-end preserved while the top-end of the fuzz tone is shaped to fit or dominate any mix!

The EHX Lizard King is a fixed-gain fuzz that is dynamically responsive. Adjustments to you instruments volume affects the amount of fuzz. Lower instrument volumes create a clear, fuzzy, overdrive, while the full instrument volume sends the gain over the top for ripping riff and searing tones.

The familiar VOLUME and OCTAVE knobs control overall output and octave blend volume respectively. New to the Lizard King, the BLEND knob sets the mix between your clean and fuzz tones to create the perfect balance of fuzz while retaining your bass’s attack and low-end. 

The TONE knob is a low pass filter that rolls off the highs, while the SUN/SHADOW switch further enhances the tone of the octave fuzz and clean tones. SUN boosts the octave fuzz with a more driving midrange, and the clean tone accessed by the BLEND know has more treble and bass frequencies. When the switch is set to SHADOW, the clean tone is unchanged, and fuzz tone is tighter.

  • Vintage-style octave fuzz optimized for bass
  • Inspired by EHX x JHS Lizard Queen
  • BLEND knob mixes from 100% clean to 100% fuzz
  • TONE controls smooths out the fuzz’s high-end
  • Unique OCTAVE knob blends in retro octave tone
  • SUN / SHADOW toggle for enhanced tone
  • True-Bypass
  • 9V Battery included (9V adapter optional)

The Lizard King Bass Octave & Fuzz Pedal will be available in July 2024 at $129.00
