Pedal Markt — Lizard Kisses, overdrive

Lizard Kisses is a color and texture device. With different clipping and brightness options, it can act as a boost, an overdrive, or a distortion. It stacks well with other pedals, responds to your playing, and is a classy beast all around!

It is available as an assembled pedal or as a kit. Get documentation for the kit here.

Lizard Kisses and other pedals in the Beastly Series was designed by Agata Fiz.

The pedal was originally conceived for the workshops at Pedal Markt. The intention was to make it as easy to build and customize as possible.

The circuit is based around a discrete operational amplifier. Discrete means it’s built out of single transistors, as opposed to an integrated circuit aka a chip. You can find the schematic and the circuit breakdown in the build document.
