The Ugly Truth about Fauxelectro-Harmonix Lizard Queen

 Let’s get this out of the way right up front, It has been an terribly long time since I’ve posted. The list of reasons for why is long and equally useless. Moving forward. What has brought me out of this seemingly endless hiatus? The short answer is the Lizard Queen. If you look at my post history, and I hope you do, you’ll notice that I am quite a fan of EHX. Yes, it is because they are affordable clones, but also so many other reasons. 

Faux electro-Harmonix?

Yes, actually, no. EHX so far to my knowledge has nothing to do with the Lizard Queen. JHS, however, does. JHS’s YouTube channel posted a video explaining the conception of this pedal. Role playing as 70’s EHX employees. Josh, from JHS, and his friends explain why they are designing and building large form at EHX clones of a pedal that doesn’t exists. Rather, it doesn’t exist yet. In the video they gush about the format and aesthetics. What I won’t do is describe the entire video. You absolutely should go watch for yourself. The jist of this paragraph is that JHS, and friends, design a period correct 1970’s EHX octave-fuzz.

Is this a plug for a new pedal?

I don’t know. I figured it might be, but that would mean a collaboration between EHX and JHS. That just feels like a lot of alphabet soup. However at the end of the video, Josh asks about the interest in the pedal. This is what spurred me to write this post. I don’t have a huge audience here, but there is a beautiful group of people that come here. I need all of us to put our collective weight behind the production and release of this pedal. If I can’t convince, again, please watch the JHS video and listen to it. If that doesn’t move you, then that’s fine.
