5532D sounds like the best of all I am looking for. Slightly crunchy yet not harsh. I ordered a few based don't his video. Great video! Thanks for doing this work with this quality!
Thanks for watching! Great to hear that you enjoyed the comparison, hope it was helpful or informative to some extent. It was definitely a really interesting experiment for me!
great video. thanks. i didn't think they would be so similar. I liked the 5532D the best in this test. maybe different in different conditions like driving a high gain amp
Thanks for watching! I totally felt the same way, I didn't expect them to be so similar. I'm still undecided on my favorite, but I plan to make another test with a slightly different circuit, so we'll see if that can highlight the differences...
Thanks for watching! It's great to hear which op amps other people liked. I've accumulated several more op amps since I made this video and hope to do and updated shootout one of these days!
Did you connect an oscilloscope to the output, or have any other way of checking for oscillation, something that some op amps are prone to do? You might not hear the high frequency oscillation, but it can have an impact on distortion. I'm wondering if that could have been an issue with the TA75358, which from my understanding is the Toshiba version of the LM358, so still an op amp that can be used for audio. In my experience, in some applications such as two way radio equipment, the LM358 can also be quite easily be affected by RF interference. Better circuit design e.g. shielding, bypass can help reduce both oscillation and RF sensitivity problems and swapping an LM358 with a TL082 or similar helped reduce RF interference problems in at least one application I've worked with. In this video the TL082 might have the best sound too. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! And thanks for a detailed analysis of the tones from the TA75358. I don't own an oscilloscope, so this comparison is just by ear. But, that said, I have tried putting the TA75358 in other non-breadboard pedals like my Boss OS-2, and the results were similar, with that fizz at the end of the note. But, I don't have any means to measure RF interference, so as you mention, that can very well be the cause of that fizz tone.
Thanks for this video! It is exactly what I was looking to hear!! I use the boost side of a Super Signa Drive. I love the top boost and the other spread of frequencies, but it has an annoying fizz at the moment. Think I might change the 4558 to a CA3260. Might get a selection to experiment. Thanks again. 🙏
Thanks for watching! Thank you for your kind words, so glad to hear my video was able to provide some insight or help. Buying a bunch of op amps to compare and experiment would probably be best and a lot of fun as well!
Thanks for watching! Yes, I was thinking the same thing! The TA 75358 has a great lo-fi fizz/velcro tone, it would be interesting to max out the gain even further and make a lo-fi fuzz with it. Maybe I'll get around to trying that one of these days.
I think the low noise one was the best BUT I kind of liked the MOSFET one and the one from your old car. What was the make/model/year of the car? Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! Great to hear that you enjoyed the video! The 5532 is a great all round op amp that seems to work in any circuit. The car was a Volvo 850.
Wow these sounded very similar, with the exception of the one out of the car. The ca3260 and Jrc4558 were the closest together and both sounded good. The 5532 was nearly as good to my ears. The TL072/082 sounded a little bit bright for my taste.
Thanks for watching! I don't have a schematic for this, but if you watch my new op amp shootout video, I show a schematic! (link in my top pinned comment)
Thanks for watching! I'm still undecided on a favorite, as the differences are so subtle. I even like the TA75358 for a lo-fi "cranked cheap practice amp" type sound.
Thanks for watching! I'm guessing that you are asking about the NE5532 vs JRC/NJM5532... In theory they are the same, but they are made by different manufacturers so their manufacturing process/equipment will differ slightly. And like many things, some people say they sound completely different, and others say they are pretty similar...
Thanks for watching! I don't remember the exact schematic for this, but it's very similar to the DIY breadboard overdrive from my video tutorial, minus the clipping diodes.
Thanks for watching! Yes, I definitely agree, the differences are very subtle, and it probably comes down to personal preference, and how the entire circuit is designed.

@@arito ok. They all sound about the same. The TA sounded horrible and too much break up. The others are close. Some are a little more hi-fi and less noise. All-in-all, the IC does marginal amount for the tone besides slew rate and sag and noise/hiss.
@@RozsaAmplificationLLC Thanks for sharing your tone impressions! It's really interesting to hear what each person notices, but there does seem to be a common thread throughout the comments :)
