Can you recommed me a distortion pedal which sounds like drive channel in Fender Frontman 15R amp ?

Schematic is avaliable here: http://www.mrgearhead.com/faq/schematics/fender/Frontman%2015G%20Schematic%2068F.pdf

It's similar to the Tube Screamer (see schematic around U2A), so start with http://www.runoffgroove.com/tubereamer.html and modify the circuit to look like the 15R. Personally, I think the sound is entirely inferior to the Odie or Peppermill from the same site. (I have a 25R.)

Almost any of the ROG distortions sound absolutely great. I have a Double D lying around just waiting to be put into a box :)
I don't like Holland. Nobody has the transistors I want.

Thanks a lot for you reply... :)

Basically I'm looking for a versatile od/dist pedal for rhythm rock parts...

Maybe I should try to build RAT, BSIAB II or FET emulation of Tube Driver ?

IIRC the F 15 has very intense distortion tones.
 I'd try something like a DIST+ or a TS type thing but with a booster hammering the input.YMMV
