This isn't a pre, but overloading a 1176 can get interesting distortion, sometimes musical. Other than that, old tube pre's, which can be heard distorting on old sixties hits.
ShShShhhhhhhhhhhh.....don't tell anyone, thats a secret .
As a matter of fact it looks like your perfect sine wave is a bit crunchy in your photo. Whats up with that, bad coupling caps?. Did you get it fixed?.

No..... That ain't bad coupling caps. thats do to running it through the Hi Z inputs on my Summit heh
I'd say the UA 2108 can be heaps crunchy (or at least that's why I use and like them). They make a good alternative to the API and Neve sound but still have plenty of rock attitude when spanked. It's a real pitty they don't make 'em anymore.
