YATS Wampler style

I thought it was interesting that it was specifically a tweaked TS-10. I believe most tube screamer style pedals shoot for the ts808 hype, but with the ts-10 marketing he's after the john mayer fans with this one I imagine.
 
I like some of the sounds in that video. The Voice switch sounds I liked the best.
Not too hot about added gain stages, I agree with @thewintersoldier, with the FAT setting I don't think it sounds like a Zen at all, I think it sounds like a Fulldrive 3, which was a pedal regretted buying a few minutes after plugging it in. Sat on my shelf for over a year before I dumped it on Reverb. Sounded like muffled smelly socks.....

But I'd build the Moxie if it were offered here:)

Something like this maybe:

Different eras of manufacture of the 4558 opamp, basically. There are some screamers that use an entirely different opamp altogether, but I think all the 808s and most of TS10s use a 4558. The diode are generic Si, afaik - they probably changed a bit over time from run-to-run depending on what was cheap/available/in spec.
