Electro-Harmonix is proud to present the new Lizard King, a bass-centric update to the popular Lizard Queen Octave Fuzz. Released in 2023, the EHX Lizard Queen was born out of JHS Pedals’ Josh Scott and Graphic Artist Daniel Danger’s love and admiration for 1970s Electro-Harmonix design. The original has a gnarly octave fuzz tone that musically interacts with your dynamics and features a blendable octave sound. Electro-Harmonix took this sound and has expanded and optimized the circuit with the bass player in mind.

The EHX Lizard King is a fixed-gain fuzz that is dynamically responsive. Adjustments to your instruments volume affects the amount of fuzz. Lower instrument volumes create a clear, fuzzy overdrive, while full instrument volume sends the gain over the top for ripping riff and searing solo tones. The familiar VOLUME and OCTAVE knobs control overall output and octave blend volume respectively. New to the Lizard King, the BLEND knob sets the mix between your clean and fuzz tones to create the perfect balance of fuzz while retaining your bass’s attack and low-end. The TONE knob is a low pass filter that rolls off the highs, while the SUN/SHADOW switch further enhances the tone of the octave fuzz and clean tones. SUN boosts the octave fuzz with a more driving midrange, and the clean tone accessed by the BLEND knob has more treble and bass frequencies. When the switch is set to SHADOW, the clean tone is unchanged, and fuzz tone is tighter.

The EHX Lizard King features True Bypass switching, can be powered by a standard 9V power adapter and comes equipped with a 9 volt battery. The pedal will be available in JULY 2024 and have a U.S. Street Price of $129.00.

Using Big Muff Hardware plugin with Ableton Live 11 Suite.

Drivers installed, plugin is showing on the track. I follow directions: from the hamburger menu, choose “Select Device”, Device Serial Number, Audio. Nothing happens and the Status light in the plugin does not light up to green (it stays grey). The plugin shows I’m on software version 1.0.70 and confirms that is the latest available version.

The pedal status light is green.

Any help on what I am missing? Thanks!

You should consider an external non-latching footswitch plug for bringing the harmonies in and out during verse vs chorus uses.
Even some choruses move from solo to harmony
having to push the current footswitch design (latching) means I’m getting a great workout for a 3-4 hour acoustic set!
Feel free to reach out via email or cell 832-726-2759.

Thanks for considering this!

I have the sensitivey set all the way up, however some notes it simply doesn’t trigger.

This pedal (fuzz and envelope) sound absolutely fantastice when I’m playing, but about 1 out every 10 notes or so it doesn’t trigger, which causes effectively dead space in my playing.

I know all these pedals were meant for guitar; but I play a lot of harmonica, often tracking guitar solos; and I’d love advice on how to ensure that the envelope is always triggered. I’m wondering if its an input signal gain thing, or something else going on.

Hello guys, so my girlfriend bought me the Hot Wax pedal for my birthday but she bought it on April, my birthday is on may 2nd that’s when I got it. My pedal stopped working 2 days ago, one of the circuits doesn’t power on anymore. She told me she didn’t tell me when she purchased it so I registered it the day it broke because it hasn’t been 10 days to try and file for a repair, but she just told me she purchased it on April. I I was going through the warranty guide book and it says to register with 10 days after purchase. I was wondering if I’ll still be able to get it fixed. It hasn’t been a year since purchased, but it wasn’t registered within 10 days. Has anyone else dealt with this before? Any idea of what might happen? I emailed support but haven’t heard back from them. Thank you!
