So-called "octave fuzzes" create an extremely distorted fuzzed octave up sound, but they are not surgically making a clean upper octave and only fuzzing it--they are distorting the whole signal to create their effect.

Multi-band distortion/fuzz pedals from Iron Ether, FEA, and a couple other brands are designed to have completely separate amounts of distortion on the lows, mids, and highs.

You could run a clean octave-up effect (EHX POG for example) into its own fuzz, and then use a blender (Boss LS-2 for ex) to mix that with your clean signal.

The EHX BMS has a dirty octave up that sounds great but there's no way to add more fuzz without effecting the original signal as well unless you use a separate blender and fuzz.

what blender would you suggest?

I have no first hand knowledge of blenders but I always thought the [sfx] crossover blender looked like a brilliant idea. I gather that it's currently out of production however.
