Meet the new king of octave fuzz, the Electro - Harmonix Lizard King. Inspired by the 2023 EHX x JHS collaboration, it takes the great octave fuzz circuit from the Lizard Queen and tailors it perfectly for bass. With updated tone controls and a new Blend knob, it preserves the bass's fundamental tone and low end while shaping the fuzz's top end to fit any mix. This fixed - gain fuzz is dynamically responsive. Adjust your instrument volume, and you'll get different fuzz effects. Lower volume gives a clear, fuzzy overdrive, while full volume creates ripping riffs and searing solo tones. The Volume and Octave knobs control overall output and octave blend volume. The new Blend knob helps you balance clean and fuzz tones, keeping your bass's attack and low end. The Tone knob acts as a low - pass filter to smooth out highs, and the Sun/Shadow switch enhances the tone of both octave fuzz and clean tones. In Sun mode, it boosts the octave fuzz with a driving midrange and adds more treble and bass to the clean tone. In Shadow mode, the clean tone stays the same, and the fuzz tone gets tighter. Features include a vintage - style octave fuzz for bass, inspired by the Lizard Queen, a Blend knob for 100% clean to 100% fuzz mix, a TONE control for high - end smoothing, a unique OCTAVE knob for retro octave tone, a Sun/Shadow toggle for enhanced tone, true - bypass, and a 9V battery (9V adapter optional). Specifications: Analog circuit, True Bypass, Mono audio, 9V battery included, dimensions 4.5' x 2.75' x 2.1', and 8mA current draw.
Using the Electro - Harmonix Lizard King Bass Octave Fuzz Pedal is easy. First, connect your bass to the pedal and then connect the pedal to your amplifier. You can power it with the included 9V battery or an optional 9V adapter. To start, adjust the Volume knob to set the overall output level. The Octave knob allows you to blend in that cool retro octave tone. Use the new Blend knob to find the right mix of clean and fuzz tones. You can go from a pure clean sound to a full - on fuzz. The Tone knob helps you smooth out the high - end of the fuzz. Flip the Sun/Shadow switch to enhance the tone in different ways. In Sun mode, it gives the octave fuzz a driving midrange and adds more bass and treble to the clean tone. In Shadow mode, the clean tone remains the same, and the fuzz gets tighter. As for maintenance, keep the pedal clean and dry. If you're using a battery, replace it when the power starts to fade. Don't expose the pedal to extreme temperatures or moisture, as this can damage the internal components.
