Yes, Yes, and more Yes! I’d never pay the exorbitant prices the commands, so this project is both timely and welcome.
I definitely understand the “hype”, and I won’t soon be parting with this build. It truly is a Rat for people who don’t like Rats.

Wow – this just
might be my favorite overdrive / distortion of all time!! I built mine with a 100K B pot for the Cut and the “low end” mod suggested from the forum. Just an amazing pedal that goes from a light overdrive to a good medium-high gain distortion that is very articulate, tight and amp-like. Saturated yet not fizzy. This pedal has a lot of range and I can understand why the brand name version fetches the prices or does. This is just a flat-out wonderful design that I think will always be a mainstay on my pedalboard.

This pedal sounds great! Simple build with a nice complex grind. Easy to dial in the lower gain range.

Nice easy build and very rewarding to play. I don’t build a lot of hard clip pedals because I prefer the reactive feel of a soft clip overdrive but this thing is awesome! Plenty of gain to keep most folks happy and it really does dial back well. I built mine in buffered bypass and the buffer is quite nice. If your looking for that smooth defined lead tone without ear splitting highs this will get you there. The dialed back tone is very familiar and pleasant to play rhythm with as well. I think it lives up to it’s hype and pretty accurately captures the sound of its name brand likeness.
