Making a Tube Screamer more like a Small Fry or Zen Drive?

I miss my Barber Small Fry horribly.  :'(

So I got to thinking... I have a TS sitting around. It's ok, I mean, it's just a TS. Anyone have some mods that might make it more like a Small Fry. I have NO idea if the Small Fry is even close to a TS in design... but it would great to try and tweak it to get it in the ballpark; even something in the same vein (like a Zen Drive) would be great. I'm looking to get it more into "zippy smooth Dumble-esque overdriven but not" territory.

Go to the technology of... page.

At the bottom there are some mods for the tube screamer.

Hey Ben, were you at the Gilman Swap meet? 

To answer your question, Dave Barber posted a schematic for one of his pedals here.  Perhaps it's similar to the Small Fry?

Try a little tenderness.
