No,,, but I assume it would work, might need a few tweaks.
I tend to avoid 9Volt battery stuff as it's working at the bottom of the pile for decent headroom and battery life is often very limited.

Insert a pot at R9/R17 and connect the diode to wiper will give you some adjustment over onset of clip.
R11 and R12 was a 1 meg pot but I found Vr1 delivers a better control.
I'm running this directly into my trusty PhAbbtone box for tone but if you want it to work into other stuff you will need to add an output buffer for better transfer of signal.
For those interested in this idea some reading here;
http://www.radiomuseum.org/forum/the_trioderizer_a_solid_state_triode.htmlI tried that idea but nothing meaningful transpired,, maybe I did not have the right Fet.
Or read up on KMG's work with high voltage LND 150 mosfet,, Very impressive results from what I read but I wanted a cheap and simple circuit that delivered the rattle of old Clean Valve amps which where never really pristine hifi clean.
They always came with a little edge to the clean signal extending into a sweet OD when pushed.
Dirt boxes are a dime a dozen but those in between sounds are hard to capture.
