I am looking for a schematic for a solid state pedal. I want to refrain from using any IC's if possible. Preferably something with a heavy metal type tone. i looked into tubes and am not crazy about a 300 volt power supply and the high cost of tubes. I really only want a minimalist schematic. any help will be greatly appreciated. Please remember I am a beginner here.

I've experiemented with distortion effect a year and a half ago and found a few interesting things.
For the simplest I recommend the tube screamers(wich have nothing to do with tube but anyways thats is name)
Diod clamp does not really yield a good sound.
Fuzz clone with silicon trans are not very good but i'Ve not tried alot of them. But still very harsh and unpleasent.
