It would be very simple to put this to an empirical A/B test in a DIY pedal. Build an effects pedal designed for a DIP8 and use an IC socket. Now get two of the same identical IC from the same manufacturer, one of them a DIP8 package and the other SMT. Solder the SMT to a DIP8 adapter. Now swap the two IC's back and forth and tell me if you can hear a difference.

Better yet record two identical clips and post it as a blindfold test.

The world is waiting.
