Does this pedal exist? (modded BSIAB or so?)

Imagine a Timmy (the pedal).
Now, imagine the gain pot to go a little bit further - more gain.
Maybe add a mids control, or make it have a tiny bit of less mids.
I like the bass/treble pots. If possible, keep'em.
Now, instead of being an opamp-type circuit, it's a cascaded mu-amp stages pedal, just like the BOR, or the BSIAB or Dr Boogey.
Let it be transparent. It doesn't have to mimic any type of amp, nor does it have to sound marshally.

Does it already exist?

Maybe altering the BSIAB schem, using elements from the Blues Booster, or even the Catalinbread DLS.

I've been reading a some of liquids' topics (i really hope he chimes in :) ) and I've kinda traced a circuit based on this topic: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=74759.20

I use a Telecaster and Fender Deluxe Reverb and I really like the Timmy with this setup. However, from experience with mu-amp pedals (mainly BSIABs) I tend to prefer the clipping and decay of these pedals, as they, to me, sound more 'natural' - it's hard to explain, though.

I drew up a quick schematic, it's not been tested nor breadboarded though. Might do that this afternoon
