what type of circuit is the Peavey F800b overdrive based on?

The title says ist, do any of you have information on which TYPE of circuit is used in the overdrive of this legendary amp? I love this fuzzy overdrive and would love to understand what it actually is. Is it a 2/3/4 transistor fuzz? Is it even a fuzz? Is it a Rat circuit? A univox super fuzz, octive fuzz maybe?

Im asking here because, as I understand, the very first and most common recreation of this Amp (in a pedal format) was initialised on talkbass with the help of Ryan from Big Game Pedals resulting in:

the Solace state:
and the CVLT Deluxe:

A more recent project seems to be:
