For octave down textures, the Catalinbread Perseus has proven consistently pleasing. It's like an MXR Blue Box on steroids with a side of beans.
The only multi-octave fuzz I currently have on hand is the MI Audio Pollyanna. It provides a multitude of old school synth tones and can produce organ textures when fed into a 2 stage phaser.
I've always wanted to try that Polyanna. Being able to blend the three octaves looks like it would be a lot of fun.

Foxx Tone Machine or a clone of it is my favorite. I also like the Ampeg Scrambler.

For a co-op effort it's tough to top green ringer > harmonic percolator or harmonic percolator > green ringer

smallsound/bigsound Buzzz - I actually use this on bass as well as a midrangey fuzz and set the second footswitch to get octavia/more aggressive.
Infanem Improbability Drive - can sound like a Devi GZ or Soda Meiser bonus points for being able to set it so weird oscillation can come in and out
Earthquaker Bit Commander - best do it all octave fuzz. The octavia is smoothhhhhh on this, and the ability to blend in the squarewave/other octaves makes it a real swiss octave knife.

Creepy fingers pink elephant. I love blending it 50/50 with another dirt pedal (BAT pharaoh/ meatbox on bass, Tc dark matter or my harmonic perc clone on guitar).

Tone Machine.
I got a Fjordfuzz Wodan, which is a Tone Machine with an insane amount of output and just a volume knob.
Sounds awesome.

Malekko diabolick! Thick disgusting, can be thin or splatty andhas a clean blend that’s great for chords. I stack it in front of my mini for absolute mayhem. Got it for bass originally but it’s been on my guitar bouts for over a year now and it ain’t going anywhere anytime soon

I don't know how I never really noticed this pedal. I love the idea of knobless fuzz.

It's more of an addition to a fuzz than a fuzz on itself, but there are many other clones that add gain or blend or what have you. It's one of the more famous DIY projects out there, seeing as the original Dan Armstrong pedals all but not existed.

I love my Tentacle, and had no idea it was a Green Ringer clone. I've read so much Green Ringer love on this forum, so have wanted to try one for a while. Apparently I already own one.

I really want one of these! Wish they were still available in the far cooler-looking Spy vs. Spy finish.
