LM386 alternative?

[thetrend77]

Is there a substitute for LM386 at all? I've been looking up different drive circuits and a few that I like require LM386's and I don't have any lol

Would any of these that I DO have on hand work? I have 4559, 4558, TL072, TL071, LF351N, CA3130EZ (and PT2399, but I know that won't work haha).

Part of your problem is that the LM386 is not a dual op amp. Its a power amplifier. Totally different kind of chip.

I don't think there is a direct alternative sub for LM386 (or JRC386). But the good thing is that if you are in the US, you can get one at Radio Shack.

That's what I was thinking.

Eh, there's one about 45 mins away. Lol guess that's as good as it gets though.
