Honestly, just break stuff.

Go to the store, get the crappiest pedal you can get... and just start switching out parts, soldering on wires randomly, etc.

I made a KILLER pedal out of screwing up making a basic boost pedal out of a LM386. I just threw in random values of components, using it as a standard amplifier, threw in a few diodes and made something pretty sick. It didn't work "right" and had to have its input reamplified to work at all (wrong impedence on the way in) but it made some SICK sounds when layered with anything else.

A PSA-1 layered up with a big Muff also isn't bad. A Fuzz factory will do lots of fun things.
