I'd start with the CAPS plugins, http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html
maybe Amp V set for very high gain, followed by Cabinet II to warm it
up and tame the excessive highs.
If that's too "amp-like" and not fuzzy enough for you, look at the various
distortions in the SWH ladspa set.

Pre-EQ also makes a huge difference in distortion character.
More bass on the input = more of a "fuzz" sound.
Less bass and more treble = more of a biting "distortion" effect.
