has a "blown" horn driver.  I use it to get an overdriven blues/rock 
sound at reasonable decibel levels.  Not a high-tech solution - and 
somewhat unpredictable - but by experimenting with horn drivers you 
might find an answer to your question.  After all, think of the 
experimentation that guitarists went through to get their overdriven 
sounds.
