Description

Step into a realm of sonic exploration with the Electro-Harmonix / JHS Nano Lizard Queen Octave Fuzz. This pedal is a tribute to the '70s glory days of Electro-Harmonix, developed in collaboration with JHS Pedals and renowned artist Daniel Danger. The nano-sized pedal encapsulates the vintage fuzz tones that made the era iconic while introducing a unique analog octave up circuit for a fresh perspective.

The Lizard Queen offers a blendable analog octave-up effect that ranges from a subtle chime to a full-blown vintage octave madness. The Balance knob offers two distinctive sonic voices at each end, functioning as a hybrid tone/gain control that unlocks a plethora of hard-clipped sounds to relish. Express your sound through the Volume, Octave and Balance knobs.

The pedal's fixed-level fuzz circuit is fine-tuned for maximum wall-of-sound might, reacting dynamically to how you configure the pedal’s other controls and your guitar’s volume knob. Encased in EHX's compact Nano-sized chassis and adorned with vintage-inspired graphics, this pedal is your ticket to the regal realm of fuzz.

Key Features:

  • Designed by Josh Scott of JHS and artist Daniel Danger; produced by stompbox legends Electro-Harmonix
  • Aesthetics inspired by Electro-Harmonix’s early ’70s heyday
  • Fixed-level fuzz circuit for a consistently powerful sound
  • Analog octave-up knob allows for a wide range of octave-fuzz experimentation
  • Unique Balance knob sweeps between 2 distinct tonal voices: the smooth Shadow and the aggressive Sun
  • Nano-sized enclosure saves space on a busy pedalboard
  • True bypass design keeps your tone clean when the pedal is disengaged.

decent

Not sure what to say about this pedal, don't often use octave fuzzes but this one didn't particularly click with me. I'm sure its a great pedal in the right situation but it's not for me, it just has too mush top end and mids for my playing.
