in fact there are some pretty good analog stomp boxes

that sound really valvy. i bet they make use of FETs then.
Nearly every stomp box "tube distortion" i've ever opened,
or looked at a circuit for, uses diodes for clipping.
Ibanez TubeScreamer
Danelectro Daddy-O
MXR Distortion+
Pro Co RAT
Peavey Tube-Sound Distortion
Some notable exceptions:
Craig Anderton's Tube Sound Distortion, sounds pretty good:
(uses two stages of a 4049 CMOS inverter for distortion!)
EH Hot Tubes Distortion, haven't heard it:
(similar, but uses 3 stages of the 4049)
