There's the typical RAT-like op amp fed into 2 clipping diodes (MXR Dist+ as well), into CMOS inverters which add their particular sound to the distortion mix, from then it goes to the Jack Orman FET Mini-Booster where it gets even more "character" from the Mini-Booster. After that it's to a Big Muff tone control and out. Take the 1Meg drive and turn it into a 250K pot. Now you should have more drive control.
