Hi,
I recently received a Biyang OD8 pedal which is a Tube Screamer clone with some additional features. One of the additional features is the ability to exchange the opamp. It even comes with 2 additional ones to experiement with.
OD-8 | BIYANG
I played for many hours and was very pleased with it driving my diy amp. Having become familiar with the sound and possibilities, I decided it was time to exchange the opamp for one of the other two that were included.
The result was not very pleasing. There was a layer of fizz beneath the tones and soft and decaying notes end in a farty way. I went back to the original opamp but the problem remains...
Obviously, I checked the battery but it's still over 9V (the led is also still very bright). I also it with a different guitar and a different amp but no joy...
The opamp socket feels very sturdy and the opamp is seated well (and I reseated it a few times but no change).
Does anyone have a clue what could be the issue?

Thanks for the suggestion and it sounds as the most sensible next step.
However, I just reseated the original opamp again (JRC 4558D) and was about to look for a data sheet but wanted to give it another try. It's now perfect again. Maybe something in there needed a half an hours rest...
I guess I will leave it in there as I love it as it is..
