The Ascalon Octave Fuzz is based on the King Tone Octaland Mini, first released in 2019 as an updated version of the original Octaland. It was traced by Aion FX in 2024.
At its core, the octave section is adapted from the Roger Mayer Octavia, which also served as the inspiration for the Catalinbread Octapussy. But it expands a lot on the classic circuit with the addition of a clean blend (useful for retaining low end) and an innovative two-stage tone control, along with an input capacitor selection and more circuit tweaks by way of internal DIP switches.
King Tone released an updated version of the Octaland Mini in 2022, moving the DIP switches to the outside and adding some extra options. Our trace was from a 2020 unit, so we do not know what changes were made in this version.
The Ascalon is a direct adaptation of the Octaland Mini with no modifications or changes other than some minor tweaks to the power supply to standardize it with our other projects.
