Electro-Harmonix Lizard King Octave Fuzz Effects Pedal Green

Make way for the new heir to the octave fuzz throne, the Lizard King from Electro-Harmonix. Directly inspired by the EHX x JHS collaboration released in 2023, the Lizard King takes the gnarly and responsive octave fuzz circuit from the Lizard Queen and optimizes it for bass and beyond. With updated tone controls and a new Blend knob, the bass’s fundamental tone and low-end is preserved while the top-end of the fuzz tone is shaped to fit or dominate any mix!

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.

Zashabuti ZAMP

Vintage Tweed Tube Amp Reimagined in Gold Analog Stompbox

Zashabuti has announced the launch of the ZAMP, a groundbreaking amp-in-the-box pedal that delivers the cherished sound of 1950s Fender Tweed amplifiers.

For musicians seeking to capture the magic of rock’s golden era, the ZAMP brings legendary tones right to your pedalboard, offering an authentic playing experience that pays homage to the greats. With its innovative true analog tube emulator, the ZAMP meticulously recreates the entire tube chain and tone stack of these classic amplifiers with Jensen speaker emulation, offering musicians the best of both worlds – vintage tone with modern reliability.

Imagine dialing in the iconic sounds of The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Steely Dan, Eric Clapton, and Neil Young—all without the high cost and maintenance of vintage gear. Designed as an all-in-one DI amp-in-a-box solution, the ZAMP eliminates the need to lug around a traditional amplifier. You’ll get the sounds of rock legends – everything from sweet cleans to exploding overdrive – for the same cost as a set of tubes.

The ZAMP’s versatility makes it an ideal tool for a variety of uses…

• As your main amp: Plug directly into a PA or DAW for full-bodied sound with Jensen speaker emulation.

• In front of your existing amp: Use it as an overdrive/distortion pedal to impart tweed grit and grind.

• Straight into your recording setup: Achieve studio-quality sound with ease—no need to mic an amp.

• 12dB clean boost: Enhance your tone with a powerful clean boost.

• Versatile instrument compatibility: Works beautifully with harmonica, violin, mandolin, keyboards, and even vocals.

• Tube preamp for recording: Use it as an insert or on your bus for added warmth.

• Clean DI box functionality: Can be used as a reliable direct input box for live or recording applications.

Key ZAMP features include:

• True analog circuitry: Faithfully emulates two 12AX7 preamp tubes, one 12AX7 driver tube, and two 6V6 output tubes.

• Simple gain and output controls make it easy to dial in the perfect tone.

• At home, on stage, or in the studio, the ZAMP delivers cranked tube amp tones at any volume.

• No need to mic your cab: Just plug in and play into a PA or your DAW.

• Operates on a standard external 9-volt power supply or up to 40 hours with a single 9-volt battery.

The ZAMP pedal is available for a street price of $199 USD and can be purchased at zashabuti.com.

Many listeners and musicians can tell if a bass player is really a guitarist in disguise. Here’s how you can brush up on your bass chops.

Was bass your first instrument, or did you start out on guitar? Some of the world’s best bass players started off as guitar players, sometimes by chance. When Stuart Sutcliffe—originally a guitarist himself—left the Beatles in 1961, bass duties fell to rhythm guitarist Paul McCartney, who fully adopted the role and soon became one of the undeniable bass greats.
