The Tokai Metal Driver was built in Japan in the early-mid 80s and is very similar to the Pearl OD-5 of the same era.

Original units use 2SC1571 transistors with BCE pinouts, but I’ve drawn the layout for CBE transistors that you’re more likely to have on hand. Here’s one of the few demos I could find of it.
