I'm not rocket :P but nah that's not really a very effective place to tweak the muff. I'd probly just use the BC550C as they're pretty low noise and high gain

You could adjust emitter resistor values for more or less gain (smaller emitter resistor = more gain)

Adjust coupling cap values to get more or less low end (bigger = more low end)

Adjust the ceramic caps in the transistor feedback loops to adjust which frequencies are clipped most (bigger values may get muddy pretty fast and smaller ones may be noisier, but adjust to taste)

And of course you could adjust the values in the tone stack. Seymour Duncan site has a calculator that will help you pick values for the freq response you want

Change clipping diodes for different compression, distortion, etc

Just a few tips :P
