The Electro-Harmonix Lizard King Octave Fuzz effects pedal delivers vintage-inspired fuzz tones optimized for bass. With updated controls and a blend knob, you can shape the pedal's gnarly fuzz and octave sounds while preserving your bass's fundamental tone and low end. Whether you want subtle grit or an aggressive, saturated fuzz, the Lizard King provides a wide range of fuzz flavors for crafting your signature sound.

Dial in Your Ideal Fuzz Tone

With the Lizard King's blend control, you can set the mix of your clean bass tone and the pedal's fuzz effect. At minimum, the blend knob passes only your clean tone while unity gain provides an even mix of clean and fuzz. Dial the blend knob fully clockwise for an all-out fuzz assault. The tone control is a low-pass filter that rolls off high frequencies from the fuzz signal, allowing you to smooth its aggressive edge for a warmer, more vintage-style fuzz tone.

Octave Up Fuzz Adds Retro Flavor

In addition to its gnarly fuzz tones, the Lizard King produces a retro octave-up fuzz effect. The octave control blends in fuzzed-out upper octave tones for a sound reminiscent of fuzz pedals from the late 1960s and early '70s. With the octave and blend controls, you can add just a hint of octave fuzz or crank both knobs for a dramatic, full-on octave fuzz tone bursting with upper harmonics.

Shape Your Fuzz Further With Sun/Shadow Switch

For additional tonal variations, the Lizard King provides a three-way sun/shadow switch. In Sun mode, the octave fuzz tone receives a midrange boost, resulting in a more aggressive, cutting sound. The clean tone accessed via the blend control also receives boosts in bass and treble. In Shadow mode, the clean tone remains unchanged while the fuzz tone tightens up. The Sun/Shadow switch, combined with the other controls, offers a wide palette for crafting your personalized fuzz tones.

The Lizard King is built for working musicians. It features rugged construction, true-bypass switching and low power draw. Power it with a 9V battery or optional power supply. The Lizard King's tones will cut through on stage and shine in the studio. Its versatile controls and unique octave fuzz voices provide inspiration for songwriting, recording and performance.
