Haha!;-) Been there myself, thinking I've done something unique, then finding out it's been done before.  
 
FWIW, the big muff uses feedback diodes around a transistor, and the TS-9 uses feedback diodes around an op-amp as well.  
 
But don't let that stop you, minor tweaks can make these circuits sound totally different. In addition, not knowing what's been done before can make for some healthy exploration with a fresh perspective. A lot of good ideas are discovered that way.
