Favorite overdriven opamp?

[Fancy Lime]

Hi all,

I like me the sound of a good opamp clipping, but never explored all that many options. I like the NJM2068, and NJM4456 (= high current version of 4558). I prefer the LM301 over the 308. I don't care for the OP07 at all.

I'm wondering what your favorites are.

Cheers,
Andy

RC4558 TI. It works for me.

I kind of obsessed over CA3031 for a while...

[iainpunk]

definitely the CA3160

but i don't think my opinion is the most useful, since it behaves quite nasty sometimes

i also love the sound of the BOSS BD2 style discrete opamp overdriving.

but my ultimate favourite is not an opamp, but a technique called wave folding


cheers,
iain

Yeah, you know why.

LM308

Yeah, you know why.

Hmmm...  Begins with R?  Rhymes with Bat?

You missed a trick with your handle, Nathan: vigilante308!
