Electro Harmonix Lizard King Bass Octave Fuzz Pedal

The EHX Lizard King reigns as the new heir to the octave fuzz throne, delivering a bass-optimized evolution of the legendary Lizard Queen circuit. Directly inspired by the 2023 EHX x JHS collaboration, the Lizard King takes the gnarly, responsive octave fuzz formula and refines it for bassists and beyond, preserving low-end clarity while unleashing fuzz tones that can fit—or dominate—any mix.

This fixed-gain fuzz is highly dynamic, responding to your instrument's volume adjustments. Dialing down your volume creates a clear, fuzzy overdrive, while maxing it out unleashes roaring riffs and searing solos. Familiar controls like VOLUME and OCTAVE manage output and retro octave blending, while the new BLEND knob mixes clean and fuzz tones, maintaining your bass’s fundamental attack and low-end.

The TONE control smooths out the fuzz’s highs, while the SUN/SHADOW toggle customizes the tone further. SUN boosts the octave fuzz with driving mids and gives the clean tone extra treble and bass frequencies. SHADOW leaves the clean tone untouched and tightens the fuzz tone for precision.

With true bypass, vintage-style octave fuzz magic, and a 9V battery included, the Lizard King is the ultimate fuzz pedal for bass and more, built to rule your tone.
