Substitutes same socket
Parts that fit the same socket: the same function, pin count and pinout. The figures are read off each part's datasheet (this one's from page 5), typical where the sheet gives a typical value, otherwise the maximum. Closest first; the last column says what differs. A different part can change the sound, and a circuit may lean on one particular figure, so read the build document's notes before you swap.

Fits the same socket
| Part | Input | Supply | GBW | Slew | Noise | Iq | Boards | Differs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TL051 | JFET | 10–30 V | 4.5 MHz | 17.8 V/µs | 10.8 nV | 2.1 mA | 8 | rated from 10 V. Trimmed-offset upgrade for the TL071/TL081; pins 1, 5 and 8 are no-connect in this revision. |
| OPA134 | JFET | 5–36 V | 8 MHz | 20 V/µs | 8 nV | 4 mA | 3 | FET-input audio op-amp with no offset null; leave pins 1, 5 and 8 unconnected. |
| TL071 | JFET | 4.5–40 V | 5.25 MHz | 20 V/µs | 37 nV | 1.4 mA | 178 | JFET input; this revision shows pins 1, 5 and 8 as no-connect on the DIP, so no offset trim. |
| TL081 | JFET | 4.5–40 V | 5.25 MHz | 20 V/µs | 37 nV | 1.4 mA | 20 | JFET input; this revision shows no offset-null pins on the DIP. |
| LF355 | JFET | ?–36 V | 2.5 MHz | 5 V/µs | 20 nV | 2 mA | 1 | Lower-power, slower sibling of the LF356. |
| OPA604AP | JFET | 9–48 V | 20 MHz | 25 V/µs | 11 nV | 5.3 mA | 4 | FET-input audio op-amp that runs to ±24 V but draws about 5.3 mA. |
| CA3140 | mosfet | 4–36 V | 4.5 MHz | 9 V/µs | 40 nV | 4 mA | 12 | MOSFET input; input range reaches the negative rail. MOSFET input that reaches 0.5 V below the negative rail, internally compensated; draws about 4 mA. |
| LM308 | bipolar | 10–36 V | 0.3 mA | 96 | bipolar input; needs a compensation capacitor across pins 1 and 8; rated from 10 V. Needs a compensation capacitor (30 pF typical) between pins 1 and 8; the cap sets slew rate and tone. | |||
| CA3130 | mosfet, RR out | 5–16 V | 4 MHz | 10 V/µs | 10 mA | 54 | MOSFET input; needs a compensation capacitor across pins 1 and 8; 16 V max, not for 18 V; input range reaches the negative rail; rail-to-rail output. Needs a 47 pF capacitor between pins 1 and 8 for unity-gain stability (15 MHz uncompensated) and is limited to 16 V total supply. | |
| NE5534 | bipolar | 10–30 V | 10 MHz | 13 V/µs | 4 nV | 4 mA | 44 | bipolar input; needs a compensation capacitor across pins 5 and 8; rated from 10 V. Compensated for a gain of 3 or more; below that it needs a capacitor (22 pF) between pins 5 and 8. |
