Reliable Source for LM308s?

[mremic01]

Where are you guys getting your LM308s? Small Bear doesn't have them anymore... what is the world coming to? I don't trust eBay. Mammoth want 3$ a piece for them and I don't want to give them my money if I can help it.

It appears that Jameco has them, but they are $7 a piece.

Smallbear has the metal can version if you can fit that in your design.

I got some at a local Radio Shack for a reasonable price not to long ago.

They might have them online

I got a bunch of eBay metal can ones not too long ago.  Extra mojo  if they work 

If you can't find anything I could send a couple along (assuming I can find them).  Let me know.

Looks like PPP still has them. Sheesh. $4 though.

I have a bunch, 8 pin DINs.  Lemme know if you can't find one reasonably priced.

I got my last couple (metal cans) from an old electronics store. They're NTE labeled, but all they did was scrub the production label off and print "NTE 938" on. $2.50 a pop.

So far:

Small Bear: Not stocked anymore; Can version is $5.50
Mammoth: $3
PedalPartsPlus: $4
Futurlec: $2.30 (Probably fake)
Mouser: Call for quote (No thanks Mouser, if you're not gonna list your price I'll just go elsewhere)
Jameco: $6.95

I'm looking for a LM308 in the UK to do this project - http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/giant-hogweed.html - does anyone know a supplier preferably in the UK?

There is a store here in Paris that has them. But it costs 4 Euros. I can pick you up one if you want. With shipping to the UK it would be about 6 or 7 Euros.

If not. http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=33493.0

Thanks for the offer :-) I might check out alternatives first. I wonder if a TL071 would work?

[bsoncini]

I think so. Check the pinouts. IIRC you should omit the 30pf compensation cap between pin 1 and 8.

[thesmokingman]

without looking at the schematic, I couldn't say if the pedal is making good use of the lm308 or not(rat-like behavior), I would say the OP07 is a compensation cap adjustment away from working like the lm308. the lm301 is mushy by comparison. lm741 should work so long as you omit the comp cap same for ne5534

Give this a read. http://www.davidrolo.com/2014/09/28/giant-hogweed-fuzz-octave-up-octave-down/

He says the 308 does matter. Closest is a tl070.
