NJM4558L dual op amp from JRC in a SIP8 package. The NJM4558L is the same as the DIP NJM4558 (JRC4558) otherwise. The SIP version is a great replacement for dual op amps in vintage circuits as well as a space saving package for some PCB layouts. The NJM4558L is a dual high-gain operational amplifier with internal compensation circuit and constructed on a single silicon chip. It offers excellent characteristics by combining the parameters adjusted for a monolithic chip. The channel separation characteristic is suitable for measuring instruments. Features:

• Operating Voltage ( ±4V~±18V )
• High Voltage Gain ( 100dB typ. )
• High Input Resistance ( 5MΩ typ. )
• Bipolar Technology

See P-Q4558 for the DIP version of this chip

Pure Tone’s new long threaded three pole (stereo) 1/4" jack provides full contact for improved connections and signal integrity. This jack locks the cable securely into place creating a greater surface area connection to carry more signal for an improved frequency stability. This jack is a great choice for both mono and stereo applications as well as guitars using active electronics.

Set screw knob with indicator line and scalloped edge. Measures .50" in diameter and .6" in height. Davies 1900H clone

FZ-1 fuzz circuit board made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in Maestro FZ-1 pedals. The board is styled after the original version that can also be found in early serial Maestro FZ-1A pedals. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. This board is intended for use with S-HEYE-A eyelets (sold separately). The build style is very straightforward with point to point connections. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

The BC560 is a silicon general purpose PNP transistor in a TO-92 package. The BC560’s typical applications include signal processing, amplification, and switching.
