First off, the Bacon Boost!
It's a simple one-transistor boost with adjustable gain and switchable clipping stage, to get distortion/fuzz going! I has huge output and can drive almost anything into saturation. Due to its simplicity and low parts count, it can be built on perfboard or even point-to-point in a small 1590A sized enclosure.

SPOILER : show
I just pictured the signal flow, the 3PDT switch or input/output jacks are not pictured for better readability.
Suggestions for tinkering/improvements:
-) Try different transistors! Lower gain, higher gain, whatever you have!
-) Try different clipping diodes! Silicon, Schottky, LEDs in different colors, asymmetrical, etc.
-) Replace the SPDT switch with a 3-position On-Off-On switch to get different clipping settings in! You could then switch between no clipping and two diode combination of your choice!
