It has a truckload of gain, so running it into a completely clean amp should be completely doable. In that situation I'd expect it to clean up at least somewhat better.

MXR submachine does up, down, fuzz, in any combination. It is a very thorough fuzz/octave box. Impressive.

Playing chords? No problem. I use it for lots of Lenny Kravitz stuff and chords sound great. Try a compressor in front of it to smooth it out a little bit.

Re: octave fuzz suggestions
Are the UFO and Ultimate Octave based on the Foxx Tone Machine rather than the Octavia? It would make sense that they are bigger fuzzes than the Octavia based ones. Many people roll the fuzz back on the Octavia to get more octave, then combine with an additional fuzz. The Foxx Tone style you can just rip with just the pedal.

Re: octave fuzz suggestions
I've really liked the 'octava' portion of my Pigtronix disnortion pedal, and it looks like they do it as a stand-alone as well. Responds very well to playing dynamics, neck-bridge pickup changes and gets appropriately ring mod-y with any non-perfect intervals like you would want it to.
An interesting feature of the disnortion pedal is that you can run the 'octava' clean with no fuzz or od, not that it is the most usable sound on its own but it makes it easy to pair with any fuzz you want. Not sure if this true across the board, but my unit is a tad noisy.
