Electro-Harmonix Releases the Lizard Queen

Electro-Harmonix Releases the Lizard Queen

Originally designed by Josh Scott of JHS Pedals and graphic designer, Daniel Danger as a homage to Electro-Harmonix in what Josh and Daniel consider the company’s design heyday in the 1970s.


The original design imagines the vintage EHX Octave Fuzz that never was with familiar graphics and controls and period-correct components. Housed in EHX’s Nano-sized chassis, the EHX Lizard Queen is a fixed gain fuzz pedal which features Volume, Octave, and Balance knobs. Volume controls the overall output volume level while the Octave control blends in the octave-up effect from no effect to full octave mixed in.

The Balance knob sets the tone balance between the smoother Shadow setting and the raspy, biting Sun setting. The Balance control is more apparent at higher Octave settings. The EHX Lizard Queen features true bypass switching, comes equipped with a 9 Volt battery and accepts a standard EHX Volt power supply.

The guitarist and high-profile producer, whose career began with the ’60s garage-rock band the McCoys and included a historic run with Johnny and Edgar Winter, and, more recently, Ringo Starr, leaves behind a deep catalog.

Prolific American guitarist and producer Rick Derringer passed away on Monday, May 26, in Ormond Beach, Florida, at the age of 77. In the 1970s, with Edgar and Johnny Winter, and as a hit-making solo artist, he was a flamboyant stage presence whose biting tone and fluent classic-rock soloing made him a guitar-culture icon. An official cause of death has not been announced, but he suffered from heart ailments and had recently undergone a triple bypass.
