Glancing at it, I would say yes, except that R8 should be 100 ohms (100R), not 100k ohms.

If somebody makes a mistake, help them understand what went wrong.  Show them how to do it right.  Be helpful.  Don't just say "you're wrong, moron."

I make the 5K a full size external pot.  C3 and C1 value are starting points.
  C3 has a big affect on the sound.  One of the early if not first web sites having information about adjusting the input cap size.

.022uf

try .1uf, .22uf, .047uf, 01uf etc. for C3.  I sometimes make the input cap switchable

Some sound clips of a circuit close to this one(same distortion engine) in this thread
