For $35 the Ultimate Octave was a steal.
Not something I use every day but it's solid, well built, and sounds good.

This thread may be relevant: http://sww.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic ... 11&t=14129
Apparently the sound can be improved on at least some Ultimate Octave Fuzz pedals by reversing &/or swapping a couple of capacitors. This should be a fairly easy job if you've soldered PCBs before.
There's a guy on eBay selling them pre-modded: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170794723006
Also, it looks like Fulltone had words with Joyo - I ordered an Ultimate Octave and was horrified that they sent me the wrong thing! The sent a "Voodoo Octave" instead!

i bought an ultimate drive pedal just for the hell of it, and it sounds surprisingly great. i've owned fancy boutique pedals that sounded far worse, and had a higher noise floor. i'm gonna have to do something about the god-awful graphics, though.
