MAX1044CPA alternative

Hi,

I am currently building a Tracksuit/DRV from Effects Layouts.
I was wondering if anyone knows what could work as a substitution? Tayda is out of the MAX1044CPA's right now.
Thanks!
 
These should also be suitable alternatives. You definitely want the "SCPA" version. (with the exception of the LT1054)

this is a bit old, but do you mean one should use a TC1044SCPA over the TC1044SEPA for pedal building? I was under the assumption (I’m guessing falsely now) the the difference between the two had to do with temperature tolerance?

Just bought 100 TC1044SEPA’s……
 
The “S” suffix is what matters most, as it denotes the boost pin oscillator frequency is above what we can hear (as long as pins 1+8 are connected)…otherwise they are whiny bastards at 10khz.
Yup! Identical otherwise.

SCPA is 0°C to +70°C
SEPA is – 40°C to +85°C

You can never be too prepared for those mid-winter outdoor jams.

Datasheet.

I’ll add this issue I had with a TC1044SCPA and a digital pedal.

That’s good to know as I’m doing a dual Klon for a friend that’s going to put a strymon in the FX loop. Will see what happens.
