So it's another Eternity with some switches?
Boy this guy knows how to milk it.

I thought it would be quite different from the TS-9 type circuit as this thing has LOTS of gain, much more than the Eternity Silver my friend has too.

Left switch selects between value of capacitor for low-pass filter after the first stage. Right switch selects between diode arrangement. Probably four diode symmetrical, two diode symmetrical and (two against one) asymmetrical. The rest is a standard Eternity.
Just what it looks like to me.

Yeah, but they are small. I'm scared to mod my SD TweakFuzz because of those tiny suckers.

The build quality is lower than that of the BIYANG pedals...

What's wrong with it? I mean, other than the board-mounted power jack.

Nothing is really wrong with it, it´s just not worth the prize. You get at least four Biyang-pedals for the prize of one Lovepedal (...and I thought that "Love is free"
). Biyang uses WIMA caps and higher quality pots.
