I've recently put together a kingslayer and am having a very bizarre issue. Everything works as it should an I'm wondering if the tc1044scpa I used is slightly different than the tc1044s? Not a ton of info inline. Thanks guys
No, that chip should be fine.

Thanks Jacob. I had actually mis-spoken (mis-written?). I was working on two projects at the same time and one called for the 1044s an the other 1044spca. The kingslayer called for the SPCA anyway. Duh! Thanks again!
TC1044S is the model of the chip. The 3 letters that follow indicate specifics about the packaging and its thermal limits. here's a cut and paste from the datasheet showing what the trailing letters represent:
TC1044SCOA 8-Pin SOIC 0°C to +70°C
TC1044SCPA 8-Pin Plastic DIP 0°C to +70°C
TC1044SEOA 8-Pin SOIC – 40°C to +85°C
TC1044SEPA 8-Pin Plastic DIP – 40°C to +85°C
TC1044SIJA 8-Pin CerDIP – 25°C to +85°C
TC1044SMJA 8-Pin CerDIP – 55°C to +125°C
You could also use the SEOA variant if you wanted to, but most guitarists don't play their gear in sub zero degrees :D
Hope that explains it!
