The JHS Lizard Queen is a silicon transistor-based octave fuzz originally conceived by Josh Scott of JHS Pedals as a tribute to the Electro-Harmonix 1970s design era before being released as an official JHS and EHX collaboration. The circuit produces an aggressive, monstrous octave fuzz with excellent articulation and punch. Its silicon transistor base provides consistent performance and an upper octave overtone that cuts through in live contexts. Suited to psychedelic rock, blues lead, and experimental styles.
