I think that it was Jack Orman who had an article about this, but I've been searching his webpage and can't locate it. To paraphrase, he basically said that to worry about the sonic characteristics of an op amp, when used in an OD/Distortion pedal, where the primary purpose is to cause extreme distortion, is a bit of silliness. (He said it better.)

Im not after a change in "distortion". Some of these chips have a sweeter midrange than others.
