A transistor circuit breakdown

This was a very helpful article for me but I would like to find a similar article for a transistor circuit.  I look at GEO but could find anything that was as broken down as the other one.  Is there somewhere else that I could look?  Or is as simple as substituting transistors in place of the different sections of the op-amp? Thanks, for any help.

I think "Soft clipped" and "Hard clipped" waveforms are mislabled.

Lots of good stuff there.

I thinking more along the lines of a "Technology of the Big Muff".  I'm new to all of this stuff and the step by step break down with pictures and examples at GGG was extremely helpful except that they were all about the the op-amp.  I would really like to be able to come up with my own circuit or a variation of a circuit.  Maybe an op-amp project would be the best for a first try??  Thanks for the links.

Did you look at the Wiki?
