Replacing a LM741 op amp with higher quality op amp?

[kendall]

I am a complete novice with electronics...but i'm looking to build a replica of a discontinued TC Electronic Integrated Preamp. Its a basic line booster with Volume, Bass and Treble but sounds great when you feed it with 18-32volts. The schematics are out there and i'm looking to just copy it and try to build a basic one using a breadboard to begin with. I was wondering though would it be possible to use an op amp from something of much higher quality. I wondered if it would be possible to experiment with putting an op-amp from hi end audio gear into it. Something like

as far as i know this is a guitar booster but note - there were various versions out on the market.

the schematic you have attached refers the tl071 version, though you ask about the LM741.

Do some test with the basic configuration first and you will see

To me the 071 is not bad at all in guitar effects, i see no point in upgrading but i guess some people put there the opa604 or 825 instead

This schema looks very strange for me. Clearly it's designed for high impedance source. But bipolar transistor working in such conditions (very low current, high input source impedance) is inferior comparing to FET.
