Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
On pretty much any pedal that changes level, it should be that one - since it’s the one you’re most likely to need to adjust quickly and accurately.

Although rather ironically one of them is the JRC4558 chip - which according to some people is where the ‘magic’ is - a little mass-produced, machine-made device which contains more electronic components than the rest of the circuit .

A 50p op-amp chip is magic? Crazy.
Everyone knows you have to have the five quid Burr-Brown ones to get magic.

Pretty much everything you need to know about the bullshit on TGP is there.
For what it's worth the bass response is controlled by the circuit - the cap and resistor to ground in the NFB loop of the first gain stage mostly - not the chip. The difference the chip makes is to the HF response because it's affected by the slew rate - and then, only when the gain is a long way up. The way most people seem to want to use a TS these days, with the level up and the gain low, the chip type is more or less irrelevant.
And the reason the JRC4558 sounds better at high gain levels is exactly because it's a low-quality chip with poor slew rate...

To be fair, it's about the cheapest, lowest maintenance TGP snake oil tonequest crackpipe fantasy I've seen.
