I really don't know how much of that is true but it's made me want to try a boss od 1.

I'm not sure if there is a significant difference between a new manufacture version of the 4558D and the old ones - there may be a bit of snake oil around that. The new ones sound fine to my ears. I've got one in my TS9 and in a homebrew pedal as well.
For my homebrew I did buy some different op-amps and a socket so I could switch them easily but I put the 4558 in first and I loved the sound and didn't bother trying the others.
He'll probably sell it abroad for double that but I don't really care. I probably missed the boat price-wise, I think they peaked a few years ago. Because of its silly value and pocket size I'd stopped gigging it anyway, I've been using £38 TS-7s for a few years now and they're fine.
JRC 4558D chips are six quid for a tube of ten FWIW, so it's worth chucking one in for a mojo boost.
Sold it before ever using it properly with an electric guitar. I'll get another bad monkey one day. I'm sure of it.
