![]() ![]() ![]() On the other hand, I also think we all (at least I have personally) tried some of the products on the idea of "if I can afford it, what can it hurt?" I would love to have an amplifier with oil-paper caps just to see, even though I know that years ago NASA did studies and found that there was no difference in capacitor performance due to construction if they had the same parasitic losses. I think the high end stereo guys, in particular, have been suseptable to this sort of pseudo-scientific clap-trap. I put this in the same piles as some of the capacitor, resistor and conductor stuff floating around. And, of course, this is because they all meet the same specifications. ![]() I guess there might be some difference ascribed to how a chip is manufactured, but I agree that if all you do in a dozen identical pedals is scramble the 4558s around by manufacturer, then had various guitarists play them, it is unlikely that 99% of them would be able to tell the difference consistantly. But I beleive the old JRC version is the holy grail of some (even though the actual chip in some of the originals may be made by others). I know I read something recently about the 4558 that even when the TS was in original production, there was no single vendor. ![]()
