OCTAVIA
It is perhaps the leading clone of the Tycobrahe Octavia that was out of production and used ones have past the $7000 mark with collectors. Made in Germany with the cliched quality that is unsurprising.
Chicago Iron has licenced the the Tycobrahe and indeed makes a replica not just a clone but it is $556.00 USD and makes on order with a wait time for parts that do not even have an estimation of when any can be found to make one.
The layout is gain, volume and treble with a switch which changes the BIAS to get the octave effect. The original germanium transistors have been swapped out for Schottky's to stabilize the circuit. (Good idea for those using it live, trust me.)

CONCLUSION
The price that only a year ago was thought extra pricey is now commonplace.
What about cheaper choices. Well you are in luck. For $80.00 USD is a clone of a clone of a clone, LOL. They even used purple for the knobs and graphics.
Compare for yourself. Check out the 2nd vid. If you think the Vahlbruch is better ...you are certainly right. It is the Ferrari of the type. The Fender is merely a Corvette. Can you live with just a Corvette? Me too, LOL.
