You can never have enough fuzz pedals, especially when they're bargain priced! The Danelectro French Toast was a cheap and cheerful pedal that hit the markets a few years back. I bought one because it was based on the 1970s classic Foxx Tone Machine, including an octave up feature. The only drawback to this pedal is the lack of a LED to indicate when the pedal is on. There probably wasn't room to squeeze in the circuit.
I recorded "Toaster" to show off the French Toast with the octave up feature engaged (I'm pretty sure the photograph above shows the settings I used for the recording). I find that the pedal sounds more lively that way. I was using my Stratocaster and no other effects were used, so you're hearing the pedal in all its raw glory. The echo was added later. The spooky sounds in the background beginning with the second verse were created with a Minimoog V Original VST instrument. The bass was my Danelectro (hmm ... is there a pattern here?), while the drums came courtesy of BFD Eco.
