Roger Mayer Axis Fuzz
and modified version removing the 220R resistor and 1nF cap. Some people think it sounds better:
PNP Germanium Buffer
Slightly modified values giving greater input impedance and resulting in a slightly brighter tone:
Mosrite Fuzzrite
Below is a modded version as per J's comments below. Give it a try and see what you think:
Keeley Katana Boost
UPDATE (09-02-2012):
Without the chargepump and so requires an 18V supply. The schematic that the earlier layout was created from has been shown to be incorrect. In the scheme the switchable 10u cap was linked to the source of Q2, this in fact needs to link to the source of Q1. Apologies to anyone who has made this up, but it is a quick fix, just unsolder the cable and re-solder it into it's new home as per the updated layout below:
Here is a simple vero chargepump layout if you need a 9 to 18V converter:
