Ross Compressor Part Substitution

I'm using Phillip Bryant's modified layout from Fuzzcentral for my Ross compressor, but I only have
3 5088's for the op amps. I have some 3094's also, but I'm wondering what the most appropriate
place to use them is as I'm told they are noisier.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Ok, those are transistors, I'd buy some more 5088s or some BC459s. Use sockets for transistors and then you can just swap then round till you find a combo you like. The opamp is a IC (intergrated circuit) and the on your using isn't just an (op)erational (amp)lifier, its an OTA  an Operational Transconductance Amplifier. Cool circuit, you using a switch or pot for the attack/recovery?  The switch works fine for what I use it for.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm using a switch for the recovery mod too.

What's in a number?

2N3904's are garden variety ("classic") NPN transistors.  CA3094's arehard-to-find transconductance amplifiers, used in the old Small Stone phaser, and countless other Electro-Harmonix pedals.
