What other chips can swap for a lm308 in a rat ?  I don't want to make any mods
or have to reconfigure pins, just a straight swap. Want to see what tone differences are.

You can choose any single op-amp, for example LM741, TL071(in this case you have to remove the 30pF Cap between pin 1 and pin 8), NE5534(30pF cap removed), some Burr Brown single opamp.
Some pedals i've built: Neovibe, FF, Axis Face, Ts808, Sd1, Ross comp, fat bastard, scrambler, Shaka tube, BsiabII, MiniBooster, MosfetBoost, RM Spitfire fuzz, RM Mongoose, Colorsound Power boost, BMP, ICBMP, Rat, Highway89, Tremulus Lune,Microamp,MayQ...

actually, you donĀ“t NEED to remove the 30pF cap..with LM741 is just out of the circuit...

TL 070 can be used also. It uses Pins 1 & 8 for frequency compensation, so the cap will be active on this chip.
