stewblack Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Lizard Queen needs no introduction from me, any musician with internet access knows Josh Scott and his work. Great that EHX made one for the price of a cup of coffee - the JHS big box version was out of my range and sold out pretty darn quick. It's a great variable fuzz with a nice non warbly octave, which is actually quite subtle. Oh, and it's loud! It has a lovely glitchy old school sound when you dig in, is nicely responsive to both instrument volume and playing dynamics. I like it a lot. The Octo Nojs will take me longer to learn, but first impression suggests lots of sounds on tap. A fat, consistent low octave with a clean blend on one side of the pedal and a synthy modern fuzz on the other. Lots of tone shaping available and lots of fun ahead for me. 2 Quote
lidl e Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Did you watch the Nate Navarro lizard quren demo? It might be the best pedal demo I've ever seen! Quote

pantherairsoft Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Okto is such a good pedal. Very good octave tone and tracking and very usable gated fuzz tones. 1 Quote

I used the Okto Nøjs for years, it’s great. Two things worth knowing: 1. dry knob applies to both sides of the pedal equally. 2. top three black knobs control the at-pitch octave fuzz; bottom two black knobs control the octave-down fuzz. Some great synthy sounds with the gain set super low. Edited May 11, 2023 by Quatschmacher Quote
