I am looking for an alternate IC for the 4049U on Craig Anderton's Tremolo.  Below is a link to the schematic.  That particular IC is not available at Small Bear anymore.  Thanks.

I was hoping to grab it from Small Bear, any other suggestions out there?

Since it is being used merely as an LFO, and is not part of the actual audio path, there are probably plenty of viable substitutes, like the 4069.  Keep in mind that the pinouts may be different.  Incidentally, I don't think the UBE suffix is essential in this case.  You can probably use a buffered one too, if that helps in getting one from a local source.  Hard to believe that you can't find one in St. Louis.
