Hi Dan, thanks always for checking out my videos! And thank you so much for the kind words, it's great to hear from folks who enjoy my videos! I really appreciate it!
@@arito Thankyou most of all! This is a super high quality comparison that many people would have been wondering about otherwise. As a pedal builder I am so glad to have found your other videos, please keep them up!
@@ArrakisOCE Thank you! That is so great to hear that you enjoy my videos, I hope they are of some help to you! This one in particular was a lot of work, collecting all the op amps, but that was also part of the fun :)
I can say they all are definitely 4558's with subtle but sometimes obvious differences. *The 4558 is ultimately a bit trashy sounding, has a strong mid presence and the nature of those two traits is why people love them and desire particular ones.* From an engineering standpoint though, it's less than a trivial detail. I prefer the cleanest and most even fidelity possible and then contour it with my filtering and clipping schemes. When all is said and done, you can pull a bandpass filter off the circuit into a diode scheme and achieve literally everything people favor this chip for but it can be done with any chip and done better. If you wanted, you could pull a dozen filters off the output with unique clipping schemes for each bandwidth lol. *In the grand scheme, if you can design and know the science behind designing, this chip's infamy is ultimately mythology.* *It's legend only holds water with people limited to simple mods and chip changes as opposed to knowing the science to simply engineer exactly what they want.* I see so many boutique companies selling their spin on the Tube Screamer I honestly wonder why they even went into business. Produce that same characteristics with better science to do it.
4558 is just a jelly bean opamp tho. It's not even specified for audio. However, guitar world is such a total opposite of Human evolution which whom tend to find a way to improve everything by nature. I mean just look at the latest T.I's or Analog Devices opamps catalogue, today's opamp design tend to avoid distortion (measure in T.H.D) at all cost! But why 4558 still in production (for over 40 years!) even for today's standard? Because the demand for insanity called "Mojo" would be still exist for next 100 years.
