Lysis MKII

Polyphonic Synth Fuzz Machine

The LYSIS MKII is finally here! Is it a fuzz pedal, an octave, a sweeping filter, some kind of synth machine? YES!!

Building on the foundation of SGFX’s original LYSIS design, the LYSIS MKII pushes the envelope even further with a number of new features and functionality that helps to increase player interaction and versatility.

Bursting with possibilities, LYSIS MKII is designed to meld the world of stringed instruments with that of synths. The LYSIS MKII applies thick, resonant filters, multiple polyphonic voicings and sweeping LFO’s, all drenched in an analog square-wave fuzz to your instrument of choice.

Main Features:

Octave Fuzz Pedal with LFO ramping/breaking modulation
Discrete analog square wave fuzz circuit with FET preamp
Polyphonic pitch shifting – delivers octave down, octave down/up and octave down/fifth voicings
Selectable HP/LP filters with adjustable resonance
3 waveform modes (triangle, sine, square) with 11 presets each – for a total of 33 modulation settings
Tap Tempo control with speed ramping & LFO braking
Soft touch true bypass switching
Expression/CV control assignable to any parameter via internal DIP switches
Top-mounted jacks – for ease of pedalboard mounting
Hand-made in Montreal, Canada

At the core of the LYSIS MKII is a discrete FET preamp and high-gain fuzz circuit. This feeds into SGFX’s digital polyphonic voice and filter generator, then back into a discrete transistor output stage, offering the best of both analog and digital signal processing.

While the high-pass and low-pass filters carry over from the previous generation, they are now controlled by SGFX’s new tap tempo LFO. This is now loaded with 33 different triangle, sine and square waveshapes coupled with 3 preset resonance settings for your choice of soft modulation or heavy, rhythmic sweeps.

The Voice selector has been expanded to include the previous octave down setting, as well as a new octave down/octave up voicing and SGFX’s Super Power Chord featuring octave down/fifth pitch shifting.

Combined with a feature-rich, yet easy-to-use control set, the LYSIS MKII quickly becomes an extension of your instrument and an inspirational toolbox. There’s nothing left to do but to plug in and let the LYSIS MKII sweep you off to synth/fuzz nirvana and enjoy punishing octave-down fuzz, rich, gooey filter sweeps or anything in between.

We like it hot. Well, not “hot” exactly, more like “warm.” See, we hail from the Great White North—45.5017° N, 73.5673° W (that’s Montreal, Canada for our readers who are not currently in possession of a Garmin GPS unit). Up here, things get cold, so we count on our effects units to bring the warmth.

This warmth is what made our founder, Greg Djerrahian, fall in love with vintage effects in the first place. But Greg wasn’t content holing up in an igloo surrounded by Fuzz Faces forever—that was a fun winter, sure, but no way to live... No, Greg wanted to push the boundaries of effects pedals to blend the aforementioned warmth with the clarity, response and tone expected from modern day electronics.

So, he did. And today, a decade and a half on, Greg and the rest of the SGFX team here have developed countless innovative features and versatile effects that help artists redefine the boundaries of their music. From ripping fuzz to earth-shaking filters to secret-tonal-weapon utilities, all SolidGoldFX pedals are built entirely in our Montreal shop and are individually tested, inspected, and approved by Greg himself before making their way onto your pedalboard.
