There's tons. The Homebrew UFO is a Foxx Tone Machine clone.
Other FTM clones include the Danelectro French Toast and the Fulltone Ultimate Octave.

French Toast - I give you my standard Victor Kiam moneyback guarantee, only available on this, the Dano Tuna Melt, and MediSed. Please be sure to try and buy secondhand/old stock though, since Danelectro are homophobic cunts.

Trewasaurus rex. I prefer Devi Ever Soda Meiser or Rocket for octave fuzzing though. The SM is like $100? I htink?

Arr, might as well turn that $ into a £ for dear old blighty, though.

tgd + behringer ps600 does some crazy octave up stuff
also a fulltone ultimate octave, tracks well on powerchords too, but it's not as crazy

i am currently pretty keen on the homebrew as the fuzz sounds nice on its own too.

If you pick up the postage, I'll lend you my French Toast. Then when you realise how ace it is, you can thank me for saving you £50 or so, send me mine back, and buy one of your own.
This is all assuming Hurb isn't selling his UFO anymore, obviously. If he is, then obviously I think that's the best pedal ever...

the only thing i am concerned about with these is that i am quite clumsy and can see myself breaking it. are they easy to rehouse?

I'm like Frank Spencer decanted into an ape's body, and I haven't managed yet. They're tough little pedals, ignore all the nonsense.

Not easy to rehouse, you'd be cheaper making a clone from scratch. They don't break though.

maybe don't break but the knobs are easy to lose. Esp with curious children around
