I've discovered that really high gain heavy distortion and fuzz tones benefits, both in terms of added heft but also in terms of improved articulation and definition, from having a subtle polyphonic 1 octave up effect (of course blended with a good amount of clean signal) stacked into it.

 

Personally I use a TC Electronic Sub'N'Up Mini for this, placed as the very first thing in my signal chain, right after my bass, and loaded with a customized Toneprint that has been tweaked to deliver an as authentic/natural sounding octave up effect as possible, but I would think,  given the high gain distortion and being applied relatively subtly, that even more synthy/organ sounding octave up effects would work for this without ending up sounding unnatural.

 

Sounds absolutely huge, and as said improves the definition and articulation of the distortion as well.
