Does any sub octave/octave fuzz go so low?

The Whammy's Dive Bomb drops your signal 3 octaves, as does the Pitchfactor and pobably many other high end digital pedals.
I don't know of any fuzz that does this. Were you specifically asking for fuzz?

No octave fuzzes do that no.
But as said before, a few digital octave boxes could get you there. Good luck getting yer cab to reproduce those frequencies

I just built a board for a Roctave Divider with a mod that does straight fuzz with 1-3 octaves down with intervals between and beyond. I tested the OG version with 1 and 2 octaves down and it's killer.

I don't use cabs or guitars or bass, but I was thinking about this from more of an experimental perspective. Like running it in the FX loop of a delay to create some kind of glitchy sludge noise. But I suppose you're suggesting that such a thing is fairly uncommon because guitarists wouldn't really have much of a use for it.
I think what LaoWiz has I want

Don't really see what the point would be. At the stage your fundamentals would be an octave below the range of human hearing and your upper harmonics would be too low for you to distinguish notes from each other.

Hmm, yeah. I see it now. I also see I was after a pitch shifter, rather than an octave down effect.
