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 8), 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.

Surface-mount only (SOIC-8 and smaller), so a DIP socket needs an adapter; standard dual pinout.

LM833bipolar10–36 V16 MHz7 V/µs4.5 nV2.05 mA144rated from 10 V. Low-noise audio dual; needs at least ±5 V (10 V) and draws about 2 mA per amplifier.
UPC4570bipolar8–32 V15 MHz7 V/µs2.5 mA5Low-noise, wideband audio dual; needs at least ±4 V (8 V) supply.
M52164–32 V10 MHz3 V/µs2.25 mA4High-current dual (±100 mA load) meant for headphone drivers.
4580bipolar4–36 V15 MHz5 V/µs3 mA103Low-noise, high-output-current audio dual from ±2 V; the DIP8 (NJM4580D) is listed as discontinued.
M52184–32 V7 MHz3 V/µs1.5 mA21Low-noise audio dual the maker calls close to the 4558 and 4559, with ±50 mA load current.
NE5532bipolar10–30 V12 MHz5 V/µs5 nV3 mA155rated from 10 V. Low noise and strong output drive, but draws about 3 mA per amplifier and has 200 nA bias current.
NJM2100bipolar2–7 V12 MHz4 V/µs1.75 mA17 V max, not for 18 V. Low-voltage dual op-amp rated to ±3.5 V (7 V total), so it cannot run straight from 9 V.
NJM4565Dbipolar8–36 V10 MHz4 V/µs2.25 mA2Drives 20 V peak-to-peak into 400 Ω; the DIP8 (NJM4565D) is listed as discontinued.
TLE20724.5–38 V10.6 MHz32 V/µs17 nV2.4 mA1Fast, low-bias dual drawing about 2.4 mA per amplifier.
CA3260mosfet, RR out4–16 V4 MHz10 V/µs4.5 mA816 V max, not for 18 V; input range reaches the negative rail. CMOS output swings to both rails, but the 16 V supply limit rules out 18 V pedals.
