Making A Vintage Electro-Harmonix Pedal!

This week, Josh and Daniel Danger put the "nerd" in "pedal nerd" by LARPing their favorite Electro-Harmonix pedal build. No, we're not making this up. Yes, they've somehow managed to out-nerd themselves.

Yes! Please do whatever it takes to get an EHX/JHS collaboration done!

[walkerkyle]

I would love a lizard queen octave fuzz. This episode was hilarious.

[samirabrams]

Make it happen captain. The world needs their JHX Lizard Queen!

[lucas_d]

If the Lizard Queen ever hits the market, you already have one sold right here! 👍 🙏

[TWHueyGuitar]

Growing up, my father used to watch "This Old House" on the weekends. Now on the weekends I watch JHS build old pedals.

[VinSuff]

If this was for sale tomorrow, I’d buy this tomorrow. This should be a full production pedal

[ericcarpenter]

Mike has to let you guys do this for sure.

“900 days in a studio and all we got was St. Anger.” …. That’s a shirt if there ever was one.

[lanedseffens]

EHX would be absolutely out of their burgers to not make this pedal with Josh and Daniel.

[JablesII]

Ye gods, you guys have outdone yourselves yet again. Pedal history, typography, D&D—so many glorious nerdy touchstones in this. Thank you, that was massively entertaining. Yes, I would buy a Lizard Queen.

Also, I’ve decided that “three knobs and a switch” is the “three chords and the truth” of pedal design. Nobody really needs anything more than that.

[willbell]

Yeah dude, this would sell- don’t limit the run. Make it as affordable, available and accessible as possible. This would be great

[wursthaar]

fuck yeah. let ehx do an unlimited run so everybody can be happy.

[peaceloveandpunk]

I can say without a shadow of doubt in my mind I would buy the Lizard Queen. That thick sound is something I have been longing for in my rig.

[oblate]

The Lizard Queen is awesome. Do it, Electro-Harmonix! DO EEEET

I can't speak for everyone, but part of the reason I always look forward to watching The JHS Show is because I enjoy nerdy deep dives into pedal history and most of all because I enjoy listening and learning from people who are clearly so knowledgeable about their interests. The entire section on the design of the pedal was absolutely fascinating - I learned so much, and it was almost frustrating knowing Daniel could have gone on for hours about just the history of screenprinting effects pedals and I'll never get that sweet brain bug nectar.

I know it'd be an outlier episode, but I'd really enjoy some content about the design of JHS Pedals, the story of the designs behind some of your designers favourite pedal aesthetics and so on.

YouTube just recommend me this video 2 years after it was posted. I'm so glad to say the lizard queen became a reality.

[seeflip]

I would 1000% buy a lizard queen if you made a limited run, super rad!!

[chiraz]

I am 100% immersed in this style of storytelling. You guys rolled a nat 20 on this concept. Give me more!

[Fallub]

That intro is a masterpiece. Thank you.

[demarantz]

Great name! When I was a kid, I had a friend who used to riff on the Doors/Jim Morrison and shout out “I am the Lizard Queen! I dress in velveteen!” I think the sound is perfect.

[GraemeSheridan]

Oh man, that pedal is just fantastic! Lizard Queen, I would love one.
