Polytone Multivoicer
Have anyone heard of this one? This is a a super rare distortion unit with clean blend and octave up. There is no sound demos online but the lucky few ones that have played one says it is quite a wild sounding circuit.
Schematic is a avaiable at Deadend Fx.

Catalinbread Heliotrope
This circuit is quite infamous for being quite noisy with oscillator bleedthrough just as for most Bit Crushers. ,And to make things worse, this one has a built in fuzz circuit that amplifies noise even more. Hopefully, the separate ground connections for the fuzz/output buffer section and the the oscillator will tame some noise.

Peavey Decade Preamp
After Josh Homme revealed one of his secret weapons, the small Peavy Decade amp, prices on those sky rocketed tenfold. Deadend Fx just released thier Dekandent project which is based on the preamp section. Not sure how close you'll get to the QOTSA tone but it is at least a piece of the puzzle.

Zzoyd's Allies Fuzz
Our ukrainian friend Zzoyds modified version of Masaru Kubuta Allies Fuzz.
No schematic for this one but HERE is a very useful link!
Here are his description about it:
...we have Masaru Kubota Allies Fuzz.so i built it with germanium transistors + added a third stage for normal volume.What I want to say about this Ge beast; you can use it like a fuzz, you can use it like a Ge booster,which working with every overdrive, every fuzzes!How's the fuzz pot working? Very strange, when you turn to left you get less gain and more highs,when turn to right, more gain and more mids. I really like this one! Using with overdrives, you get another sound!
Don't forget to check out his other design, Black Velvet Fuzz.

Electro Harmonix Clone Theory
This is it for, now. Covid restrictions were lifted here today so I'm going to take a break and try to live a normal life for a while ;-). But here is a project of the 70s version of EHX Clone Theory which should keep you occupied for a while. An onboard voltage doubler is included followed by a 15v voltage regulator for the required power supply. The only addon in the audio path compared to the vintage units is a booster stage and volume trim before the output to cure the slight volume drop when the circuit is engaged.

DAM Black on Black
A super rare tonebender by DAM. Input stage is pretty much a Buzzaround preamp stage while the fuzz stage (Q3) is a 3 knob tonebender stage. The tonestack is slightly tweaked to be more focused on the lower mids.
