Electro-HarmonixLizard King Bass Octave Fuzz Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Lizard King

The Lizard King from Electro-Harmonix is a bass-oriented version of their Lizard Queen octave fuzz pedal, delivering dynamic and expressive fuzz tones for low-end lovers everywhere. This scaly, shifting saturator features the same gnarled octave fuzz tone and dynamic response as its upper-register counterpart, originally dreamed-up by JHS founder Josh Scott. Now voiced and optimized for bass, the Lizard King assumes the throne as the ultimate reptilian riff-ripper for bassists.

Simple controls give you access to a world of octave fuzz tones from clean, soft fuzz to caustic tonal warfare. The fuzz circuit is fixed-gain but responds dynamically to your playing volume, turning your bass into an expressive palette of fuzzed out fun even when leaving the knobs alone. Controls for Volume and Octave adjust the overall volume and amount of octave effect blended into your signal. A blend control balances between your clean and fuzz tone, letting you preserve some of the attack and fundamental in your tone while ripping it apart through the fuzz circuit. Finally, the Tone control and Sun/Shadow switch provides a competent suite of EQ controls, with Tone offering a low pass filter, and Sun/Shadow modes giving you a driving mid-boost or tight controlled fuzz, respectively.

While great for bass guitarists, the Lizard King excels at fattening and saturating monosynth basses just as well. If you're looking for an effect to beef up your bass tone and start laying your royal claim to more of the frequency spectrum, look no further than the Lizard King from Electro-Harmonix.
