Probably start with a fuzz circuit popular for the time period. Late
sixties/early seventies era would be maybe a fuzz face. You can find 
schems for this on the 'Net. Geofex has the germanium transistors
necessary for the sound. (http://www.geofex.com).

Another guess would be the MXR Distortion+. It was popular in the mid 
seventies. Hillage used this fuzz a lot. It is based on back-to-back 
diodes.
