Yes. I had a Colorsound Supa Tonebender like this as my first ever pedal. I bought in sometime around 1977:
A development of those early Tonebenders but still just a few basic components on a PCB.
I thought it sounded horrible, but it was half the price of my mate's MXR distortion pedal and I couldn't afford to get anything more expensive at the time (I was 16). It was also my first purchase from Andertons, who were just a small but decent music shop in those days.

Oh cool, apparently Jeff Beck used one of those at one point in his career, they're regarded as quite collectable nowadays, I'm seriously thinking of doing a build project thread on one of those soon, would be cool to get some Jeff Beck tones with it and my Gold Strat.
The circuit of the Supa Tonebender is a lot like the original 4-Transistor Big Muff, except there's only one transistor stage with the back-to-back clipper diodes.

Just in case any of you may be interested, here's a pic of the recording rig setup which I used to record the demos I uploaded:
Just found my DIY Tonebender Mk I Fuzz pedal and tried it out with my Gold Strat, it sounded brutal, will post a demo soon.
Update:
Just so you guys know, I'm about to post a link to a new demo recording of my DIY Tonebender Mk I pedal in the DIY pedals forum section.
Thats was a pretty beefy sound with a start doc

Update:
Had to remove the Gold Sperzel Tuners I had installed on the headstock because they weren't performing as well as I'd hoped they would, that's a bit of a shame cause they were virtually brand-new, they were exhibiting a bit too much backlash making it hard for me to tune each string accurately to pitch, surprising cause they are advertised as being the best tuners that money can buy on the Sperzel website, I replaced them with the set of Gold Grover Rotomatics I was using previously on the original neck, so now, because I don't have any spare sets of strings, and no money to buy more, I'll have to wait till next fortnight to re-string the guitar to be able to record any more demos.
That's weird. I had a set fitted to one guitar and they were fine. Were they real Sperzels or a copy? Of could they be copies sold as Sperzels?
