Adding Octave effect to fuzz

I completed my Rocket fuzz a couple of weeks ago, and after playing around with it for awhile, it occurred to me, it'd be pretty fricken awesome to add a blue box-like 2 octave down effect to it. Would this be a possible as an addition, or would it be too hard to implement into an already completed pedal?

The blue box is a pretty complex circuit. It wouldn't be easy to add it to an existing pedal and I don't know of any simpler 2 octave down pedals. An octave up fuzz add-on would be easier. A green ringer type circuit or something like the simple octave up would probably work well. You might even be able to get away with taking out the op amp stage.

This is one of the reasons why I like to remind folks about parallel processing, and the advantages of having splitters and mixers hanging around.  They permit you to combine effects in exactly the way you describe.
