I got a breadboard. Now what do I do?

The Animal (Mammal here) is a killer sounding OD for not many parts. It uses a dual op-amp and not many parts (especially if you leave out the unnecessary boost switch) to create a very usable dirt pedal. Then you can easily turn it into a Blue Note, a Majestic or a Caliber 45 easily enough.
 
With the aforementioned BazzFuss, you can then experiment with
Joe Gore’s cap-blender “tone” mod;
EQD’s Bellows;
Dual BazzFuss (BuzzBox);
Add a Muff tone-stack&recovery;
Etc.

Another, good’n’ for experipermutations is the Electra variants. MANY from Lovepedal alone.

There’s a few SHO variants, too…
Madbean’s
SoulSonic’s Crackle NOT Okay
Paul @ DGP’s Oil Tanker
Etc

Then try some op-amp circs:
386 variants such as EQD Aztec Gold or whatever it’s called, Glass Jaw, H&G Amps’ OD, Grace OD, Big Daddy, Bass Boost, etc.



Then of course there’s all the hacked up Dist+/250/Ross variants to toy with…
 
Oh, and Devi-Ever's endless self-referenced circuit variants.
Hmm Fuzz Face variants...

Nutter Idear:
Set up a 12PST rotary or a series of dip switches on vero with every clipping-diode combination you can think of — then whenever you're whipping up a circuit on the breadboard you can dial in diodes super-quickly.
