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! I'm trying to build a fan following for this chip! ;) Check out my RAT op amp shootout, this chip really sounds awesome in a hard distortion/fuzz circuit!
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!
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!
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 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!
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.
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.
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 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! 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)

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! Yes, I definitely agree, the differences are very subtle, and it probably comes down to personal preference, and how the entire circuit is designed.
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...
@@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 :)

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear that the video helped in your decision making. I'll be making more geeky videos in the future, so stay tuned!
I actually really liked the Air Con chip.

Excellent comparison vid, thank you for putting this together

2:01 - JRC4558
2:43 - CA3260
3:24 - TL082
4:05 - JRC5532
4:47 - TA75358
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Great to hear you enjoyed the video!
Super interesting comparison! In my ears the 1st is JRC4558, 2nd TL082, 3d CA3260, 4th JRC5532, and finally on 5th place TA75358.

With good PICKUPS, fresh strings and a well tuned guitar everything sounds good, more or less. This would all be "meh..." with my stock pickups.
Thanks for watching! And thank you for sharing your thoughts and impressions!

Good afternoon. Is there a difference between JRC5532D and JRC5532DD? To me in the sound card.
Thanks for watching! The DD has better noise performance.
Great video!! The AC one would be usable for an experimental fuzz.
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 like the TL082 best in blind listening.
Thanks for watching! The TL082 seems to have a nice, full sweet sounding breakup character.
Sir which one you prefer
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.
Can you show the circuit schematic
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.
do you have a schematic diagram? i want to try it out myself
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)
@@arito Thank you very much! yeah i watched it and i like the tone of jrc 4558, it was used on a tube screamer right?
@@weareelectricgi Yes, the 4558 is used in the Tube Screamer and countless other pedals!
Please can you share circuit diagram?

RCA the best!!

Slight differences, but the 4558 has better articulation at the beginning of the 1st strum, and sounds a tad bit warmer to y ears.
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.
Hola muchas gracias por tus vídeos , una pregunta , NES 5532 P es igual a 5532 D ?
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...
@@arito thanks ! You are awesome!
@@trafalgarsquare9019 You are very welcome! Hope everything works out!
Soo....what's the verdict?!??
Thanks for watching! There really is no verdict here, it's all about what each viewer is hearing :)
@@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.

That JRC4558 is a modern version and thus, very simillar to any other modern 4558 variant.
That is not *THE* JRC4558.
Thanks for watching! Yes, this 4558 along with the 5532 and TL082 are just regular chips that can be bought today.
