The Op-Amp Muff Fuzz is ok, or perhaps try a Distortion+.

For easy, I'd recommend the MXR or Ross distortion.

Check out Gus' mod's to the Muff Fuzz.  Similar to the Mockman.  Pretty simple and one of my favorite distortions.   8)

No afraid not :(

I gotta get some proper 386s first. I remember someone having a soundclip A/B'ing the DS386 to a DS-1 and the difference was barely audible :) So I'm definately gonna make a DS386!
