LIZARD QUEEN Octave Fuzz By JHS & Electro Harmonix

- Woah. We finally did it! The making of the Lizard Queen has been a two-year dream in the making. Once upon a time, Josh Scott and Daniel Danger had the crazy idea to create a pedal in the spirit of a vintage EHX octave distortion. They did a “Faux Electroharmonix Lizard Queen” in 2020, and once Mike Matthews of EHX saw the pedal, he was excited to take on the project and make this dream a reality. Special thanks to Mike and EHX for taking on this project and to Daniel Danger for collaborating with us on the design!

We want more of these JHX pedals!
Nailed it with the "JHX".
I am so here for this
@@vansheen9096 Thanks. If i remember correctly someone else suggested that before me in the previous episode. It would be so great if a permanent collaboration would come to life! Like "the JHX series".
You have to admire a nerd fulfilling his deepest, nerdiest fantasies with just hard work, imagination and personality. Good job!!
Also capital. Lots of people have the other three.
@@sagittated fair enough, although some of the capital happened because the hard work.
@@sagittated is he Scott of the Toilet Tissue Scotts?
@@brainsplosion3000 I don't think it's a controversial take that this business venture took capital. Capital is the most important element in the success or failure of your business idea. Hard work also plays a role, but mostly it takes money. Gotta invest.
@Matt R "hold on, I gotta wet blanket something."
The amount of happiness in this video over the creation of this pedal is great.
This is truly the golden era of guitar pedals. May it never end. I love the collaboration and the pedal. So much fun and love wrapped up into this. For the Lizard Queen!
Actually the Golden Era for pedals was in the 1970s when all of these pedals were first introduced. That's why people keep copying them. You have to put your mind back to that time when people heard flanger for the first time for example. Or when the phase shifter first came on the market. Once all of those modulation, time delay and reverbs were developed there hasn't been anything truly new in pedals since then really of any significance. Just people making more and better (or worse examples) of those products. Having said that it is great to see people continuing to offer great quality products for good prices.
@Joe-ms6dc @JohnOverturf let's call it a renaissance then?
@Pieter-Jan It's a great time to be a guitar player. I started in the early 70's and at that time if you wanted a cheap guitar you paid 2 to 3 times more than you do now for a cheap guitar and the guitar was half as good as what you can get for that same money today. And that's the truth. Today you can get a cheap guitar, tons of good cheap pedals and a cheap amplifier and you can sound very good and have a great guitar experience. If there's a golden age right now, it's the golden age for guitarists overall. Exactly for those reasons. Ironically, the guitar music back in that era was 1,000 times better than it is today. I am hoping and praying (as I am sure many others are) that changes over the course of the next years and decades. We need a new Jimi Hendrix to blow everyone into the weeds. 🤙🏻
@@Joe-mz6dc Hmmmm. I mostly agree about the gear: there's tons of great stuff at bargain prices! It's never been a better time to be a guitar player. We do differ in opinion on that second part; there's TONS of great guitar players and guitar-oriented bands around today. But you won't find them in the same place where you found the guitar heroes of decades past.
The fire next time tho
Daniel's +48 aspergers trait played a significant role in this project. Nice work.
The pedal world owes JHS a huge debt of gratitude!
I watched the stream twice now. I still can't believe I won. I Love fuzz pedals, love JHS!
🤜🏻🤛🏻that’s Awesome Dude !!! 🍀🤟🏻🎸 that’s a cool pedal ! I definitely want one it sounds great. I currently own a dozen+ ? Various pedals ,DunlopDime cry baby from hell Wah pedal , lots of Boss pedals 7 I think. , a few MXR’s EVH Phase 90 and a Super Comp , I actually have almost anything I could ever need… but you know how it goes when you see a new one every once and a while 😄. I think … oh no it’s 15 ! 😄 I forgot about the old 1985 Rat got that for a Birthday present from my parents, when I was 14 ! In 1985! 51 now ! Haha , a Bad Monkey I got for free! 8 years ago Also an old Russian Metal Muff that needs a quick solder on the battery wires and it will work again ( got it given to me for free! ) Most of my gear I bought new , but a couple were from pawn shops like the Boss Metal Zone, I don’t give a shit what the beef is with that pedal nowadays , through a good sized Marshall, Peavy or Laney Amp that thing Kills. I own all 3 and I can confirm 🤟🏻🎸🙂 if you have never tried one I’d give it a go if you can find one. it’s Awesome for such a small pedal and if I want to go heavier new school I stack it with a Boss Hyper Metal. I love the Metal Zone ! wanted one for years and finally found it about 10 years ago, they sound killer but just be picky with the EQ set up it’s crazy adjustable !🤪. My buddy found a small gym bag of guitar gear and a Cakewalk box recording unit ! in a car he bought at an auction and he doesn’t play a note so he gave me all of it for some beer 🍻 😄)
I tuned in with 20 left, and I had to stop myself. This is a really cool art object, and I'm excited for those who get one. I just got back from vacation, and can't justify it. I LOVE the fact that I can get an EHX version for $100 if I want to add the sound to my little pedal collection.
I watched this a day late, but it's still exciting to see an actual art project and art event happen -- because this IS art, people. Serious niche, techno art. A little piece of wire choir history happening right at this point in spacetime. Nice work, gentlemen. Your passion is noted. Plus, it sounds great, so ... there's that.
you have become the definition of "on top of their game"
Nick's observation that maxed fuzz becomes tremolo is spot on. I realized one day that fuzz becomes tremolo becomes ring mod and blew my own mind.
Thanks for doing what y’all can to combat scalpers. Now we as fans and fellow pedal enthusiasts MUST do our best to combat these apparently outrageous coffee prices in Kansas City
i am just blown away by the thought, care, and passion put into this. what a great world it would be if every product was this cool!
The sound, the design, the price, the nerdiness, the octave knob (btw why isn't this a thing on every octave fuzz?!) If this isn't the perfect Octave Fuzz i don't know what is!
Congratulations JHS and EHX.
i. love. the Lizard Queen. and, of course, the good folks who brought a fun idea into reality for the rest of us. thanks to everyone involved! cheers!
I bought mine as soon as i saw Josh and co. wearing lizard heads. Genius….
Lovely to see a real world Lizard Queen (since we don't get a Bat Sim). And props to Dan Danger repping Acorn.
Hell yeah Acorn rules
I missed out on a full size vintage collectable, history in the making.
Congrats Josh and Daniel and EHX 🎉
Congratulations to everyone! Great to see Addison on this episode, after he announced that the last live was going to be his last.
Daaaamn, Josh is the most influential pedal maker of the century and EHX listening to their fans as always
You do realize that most of his pedals are clones of something that has been done before and this pedal is no exeption? :D
@@jukkaaronenNot a Josh or JHS simp, but most dirt style pedals from most manufacturers are just clones of the same few base circuits. Kinda the norm.
@@skatertrev7 That's true. The only difference basically is whether you give credit to where you got your inspiration from or claim something our original design (when it's usually not) :D
@@jukkaaronen I agree. I know a number of times Josh has said the Morning Glory is based on a BluesBreaker or that pedal X was inspired by a specific era of Y pedal. I think he often talks topology, but I'm a builder, so I listen for that stuff.
If all products were made with this level of detail, passion and creativity there would be world peace and harmony throughout the land.
Someone said “we need more JHX pedals” and dude we need more JHX pedals
Just love this and love the love of Daniel Danger for this work. Brilliant
This was historical. Wow. I’m so amazed. Thank you JHS & EHX. KEEP ON INVENTING🎉
This is the most beautiful product launch ever. XD
I gotta say this is the coolest pedal announcement ive seen and the fact that your channel is super hip and viral really works out well for it!
Not my kind of guitar pedal because I'm not nearly cool enough, but JHS is my kind of pedal company. And one of the very best youtube channels out there period. I wish you guys all the best. Please keep the positivity coming!! This place can be so bleak. Thank you to all you dudes and gals for being a ray of spring time sunshine.
Just bought the version for 99 bucks and I’m freakin psyched for it. Such an awesome sound, cool pedal, and even cooler concept! Thanks y’all!
This was the greatest thing since Pedals: the Musical
I missed the boat on the big box one, but I am really happy to see an EHX pedal made in a big box. I've always loved the 70s visuals of pedals and how ridiculously they are. I rock a NYC Reissue Big Muff Pi on my board, and will be putting a small clone reissue on my board too, the Lizard Queen looks amazing and it looks like it fits in perfectly with other big box EHX pedals while being it's own thing.
My favorite pedal is still my original Russian big muff with its wooden shipping crate. It’s something I’ve tried to build exact duplicates of but
Nothing really comes out exactly how this particular one sounds I love ‘em
It's awesome to see that josh and daniel actually got to make this product. Go back and watch the original video...they were like little kids building a new lego set on christmas morning!
This is why I believe you are the best company in the universe. If you ever need a guitar nerd living in rural New Zealand to chime in with love and support hit me up. ❤
Holy smokes my comment made the cut!! So pumped for you guys and can't wait to pick up one of these bad boys!
JHS team. Congratulations on such a fun reveal, project, video. Love the fact that you all are having fun with all this. You cats are awesome. Cheers to the success. And dope attempt at sticking it to the scalpers hahaha gold.
Belle's shoulderpad game on point
the lizard queen extravaganza, this show had energy like you just can't fake
So happy for you all!
The most nerdish, nerdling, full nerdage nerdature, and I am here for all of it. Love it!
🤓🎸🤟🏻Yep Me Too ! 😄
The entire story of this whole endeavor is just absolutely fantastic. I love it.
Sign me up for the $99 mini "reissue" version.
🤓
I got my order in and couldn't be more excited. This is a true piece of history!
All hail, the Lizard Queen, and praise those who take the time to sweat the details like the proper shade of green for a particular pedal. Home run on the green ink with the Lizard Queen congrats.
Congratulations on the release! I’m so excited to get my nano. Thank you for giving an option that allows all of us to be a part of this, I think that’s so cool.
Happy to report no big box listings on reverb! Way to go everyone.
Most hyped pedal release ever!! And I'll loved every second!
I was rolling my eyes until I saw the big guy with artistic pcb traces etc.
I've ordered the smaller EHX version from Sweetwater. Prefer the smaller size and 9V power supply input, and not a knock on the full size version. Looking forward to getting mine and plugging it in, and kudos to EHX, Daniel Danger and everyone at JHS for making the Lizard Queen a reality. 😎
I feel like I'm watching a PBS donation drive right now.... haha! Love you guys! This pedal is awesome in every way that it's possible to be awesome.
I think you actually combatted scalpers that's actually really awesome
Wheeeeeeeee 🤙🏼
Thanks for the LIVE team JHS! I really enjoyed the improv banter and the story-of's were a gift fer sure. Thanks for making this day shine. RAWK!!! 🤘🏼
You guys still do really cool things despite growing so much in the past 7 years since I bought my first JHS pedal. Congratulations! I missed out on the big box but I'll live. Hope to catch the next cool product!
Duuude...you guys are the best at marketing. Its like you hired The Clash and Monty Python to train you in their marketing dojos.
I remember back in the seventies receiving a Ram's Head Big Muff for Christmas. Later in the seventies, I needed a channel switcher for my amp. As a couple of the guys in the band I was in were handy with a soldering iron, they gutted the Big Muff that I never used, and converted it into a channel switcher. For the record, both the channel switcher and Big Muff guts are long gone.
An EQ and a multi effects pedal can replicate almost anything with some exceptions, the most notable being Electro Harmonix’s entire line. Their designers are a cut above
The “news coverage” was awesome!
Fun show!!!! Can’t wait to snag a Lizard Queen 🦖 👸
The lizard queen intro was absolutely epic 😂
Oh snap I can't wait to grab this super cool this actually happened 😭💔🍄
Oh man! I've been hoping the big pedal would be put out. I'm bummed that I was working when this streamed but that will always be the case. Congrats to those who got one!
OH MAN! You guys just torpedoed the limited market with genius! Personalized COAs!! This needs to happen everywhere! I know its a huge PITA but what a cool way to get something rare!
Awesome, you guys are really helping keep the spirit of Rock and roll alive. Screen printing is something used by skaters for the decks. The old school screen printed graphics are seen as the holy grail. Damn the receipt thing was a genius idea!
THANK YOU JOSH AND DANIEL!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Congrats to everyone who gets one of the limited. I will for SURE be snagging a small box. And seriously, help these guys out, if one suddenly shows up on Reverb in day for obscene money....IGNORE IT. Buy a small box and just wait a for a big box to show up for a NORMAL price.
Soooo fukn cool. Mike, Josh and Co, you are Legend. Thank you x1000000!!
Just ordered the big box, hoping for the inverse!
Let's add a Gila Monster to the product rollout!
Really enjoyed the lizard dance party at the beginning lol
I absolutely love that this collab happened and how much blood sweat and tears you put into this. The timing could not have been worse for me money wise but I’m picking up a nano version soon for sure!
Also looking forward to the book.
I think the book would sell. The story of Electroharmonix is just so so unique,........and cool. I never thought I would say that about corporate America.
Awesome! I've been waiting for this since it the episode where it was created. Can't wait to buy one.
Jhs and Ehx the two coolest pedal companies. Josh is a visionary changing the landscape of music gear by interacting with the industry.
Amazing idea! Amazing work! Big thanks to you all!
I love how loudly and deeply Daniel breathes into his mic whenever he's on the show.
Blame covid
@@DanielDangerTME 😂😮💨
@@DanielDangerTME forever and always
By far my favorite JHS show episode. Too bad I caught this after work so missed on the big lizard but guys everyone was on point and what an amazing labor of product design EXCELLENCE! ❤
I hope this is the first (public) step in JHS acquiring EHX. No expert here, but I can't think of a more passionate guy (and crew) to take over such a venerable company such as EHX. Mike Matthews is 80+. He's done an excellent job across 7 decades and deserves to retire with the confidence someone will zealously continue the legacy.
Josh should step up to the plate and take the helm.
Super fun. Thank you! Now a DOD collab with the fun knob names.
This is a super cool product! Congrats on pulling this off!
JHS. Just killing it! Love what y'all are making possible!
Thanks so much for this! I was one of those annoying people asking for this since the original video! Every time there was talk of new JHS pedals I was asking for this to become a real pedal. You guys rock!
So glad you showed the schematic (even if it was backwards). Looks like a boosted Escobedo 'push me pull you' with a neat octave blend implementation. It's more than a great innovation. Awesome job, lads!
Thanks for the insight into the pedal! I’m tired and missed the schematic somehow… I was dying to know!
EFFF YEAH! I'm so stoke this became a real pedal. I'm totally gonna buy it!
You’re all doing great work at jhs and ehx! Love these videos.
Awesome to see this come to fruition. Also great to see Belle has a career in broadcasting ready for her if she ever gets bored with pedals.
I'm buying a EHX version of this pedal, this has been wonderful and I am so so happy for the EHX Superfan like wow. what a dream and he knows his shit more than anyone else, he deserves all this 100%. So happy this is a a real thing, I don't have a fuzz pedal yet and I own 18 pedals lol ... excited to own this, thank you JHS/EHX!!
Mounting the foot switch on the PCB was a smart idea. All the old big box EHX pedals had the PCB hanging off the pots. I used to have to continually reflow the solder joints. Eventually on my Foxy Lady Big Muff I just ran wires to the pots!
49:33 you are talking about me here. I’m not Bob Myer’s nephew, I’m married to one of his grand nieces. I was curious what happened cause Bob told my mother-in-law all about you guys visiting and then we hadn’t heard anything. Anyway, glad it all worked out.😊😊😊
WOW! What an awesome project coming to life! Couldn't make it to the live because of work, but I was so hyped to see this popping and the designs look so pretty too! 😊 I must say the production team have been making awesome segments and I love it so much! ❤ Killer sounds. Beautiful. Pretty. *chef kiss* 🤌
Love this show and pedal company so much, thanks guys!
This is a cool collaboration. Many years ago I attempted to be a guitar player. I read Guitar Player magazine cover to cover. I loved the ads by Electro Harmonix. My paper route never gave me enough money to afford their stuff. This pedal seems to remind me of the music of those times. Even the Lizard King (Jim Morrison) would have a smile for this pedal.
This is actually so wild because I watched the Lizard Queen stream just this past weekend... Coincidence?
Wow you guys worked up a Green Haze a full on Pea Souper...well done you!
This is all beyond cool and nerdy. This is love. It is not just love for the pedal, this type of effect, or EHX, it a lotta Love for the pedal community, pedal history and collectors. Well done. Kudos and cheers.
You guys are the best!!!
Belle is a surprisingly engaging news anchor, and her boredom was a sheer delight. Though, I could totally watch AN ENTIRE episode of Dan and J dishing on EHX ink. Just me?
i could do like... maybe 8 minutes, give or take. more if they argued.
That debate on ink could be something fun if you're really into small details, I guess.
The Dianne Morgan of the Midwest.
Just pre-ordered from sweetwater! I'm keeping the box!
Sweetwater finally shipped mine, should arrive on Friday and I can't wait. I would have loved to have got the big box because it's super nerdy and geeky but couldn't get to order one in time. It was an incredibly smart move to have Electro-Harmonix create a line to ensure everybody who wants one can get one, at incredibly affordable pricing none the less! Hail the Lizard Queen!!
LIZARD QUEEN!!!
This is giving me a great idea on how to find the next wall color for the music room!
Love these home shopping network episodes where the sold tally gets checked throughout. I've always wanted to buy something off TV, but probably never will at this point...doing this feels like the next best thing though. My only conundrum is that because of work I can't get in on the limited releases, but if I quit my job to get in before they're gone I won't have money to pay for it. Its a real dilemma. Good thing there is the nano version for working stiffs like me. I love that you guys are doing this and I hope you keep doing more cool stuff!
Just copped this excellent pedal, it has truly enhanced my overall tones and I'm so grateful to have gotten my hands on it ❤️🔥
Nice looking pedal Josh good job 👍 can’t wait to get mine.
That will learn me to watch it live!!! Giving away Lizard Queens, but I’ve only been quietly watching your fascinating show!
This is as good as TH-cam will ever get!
