I can play around with my LTSpice model, but the main problem is developing op amp stages that act like FETs (or tubes) when they overdrive.  I suppose that's been a "holy grail" of op amp based distortion boxes since day one.  Despite that you could put in soft clipped op amp gain stages, with the gains matching (approximately) the JFET stages (which I can calculate from my JFET spreadsheet).  It may sound good - or not!
