Analog Music Company released the Notorious Rabbit Analog Octave Fuzz on May 16, 2025, according to Guitar Pedal X, which attributes the release to the company's Konstantin¹. Delicious Audio describes it as "a compact analog octave fuzz pedal"².

The circuit runs the input through selectable filters, then a Darlington pair of one germanium and one silicon transistor, then a 1N5817 clamping diode that adds asymmetrical clipping, then an op-amp for additional gain¹. Pedal of the Day, which places the company in Kyiv, Ukraine, describes diode-based clamping that limits differential voltage and shapes the waveform, and a final stage providing additional gain and low output impedance³. Guitar Pedal X reports the pedal uses a mix of surface-mount and through-hole parts¹.

Delicious Audio reports that the Attack control affects harmonic content and gating behavior, the Voice switch selects between two input filters, one emphasizing mids and the other allowing more lows, and Level sets output volume without affecting the fuzz characteristics². Pedal of the Day says the pedal is designed to interact directly with passive pickups or unbuffered signal sources, and that placing it after a buffer, preamp or active pedal may alter its intended response³.

Guitar Pedal X reports the pedal comes in 13 colorways and that versions of the MKI, MKI.5 and MKII are available, with the MKI completed in 2023, the MKI.5 in 2024 and the MKII in 2025; it says the MKI.5 and MKII share the same circuit in slightly different enclosures and are "a tiny bit more 'unleashed'" than the MKI¹. As of May 16, 2025, the price was $230 direct from Analog Music Company and via its Reverb.com store, according to Guitar Pedal X¹. Delicious Audio gives no price or availability details².

Guitar Pedal X wrote that it did not receive a unit for launch and based its account on demos¹.
