TL072 vs JRC4558 vs NE5532:How to differentiate?

TL072 is a Junction Field Effect Transistor abbreviated as JFET. A dual operating amplifier is another name for it. Low noise, low power consumption, fast slew speeds, latch-free operation, and a low-temperature coefficient are just a few of its remarkable advantages. It can be found in UPS systems, audio mixers, solar inverters, oscilloscopes, and AC inverters, among other applications. 

The JRC4558 is a dual opamp IC with an 8-pin dip and an SOP-8 packaging. Inside the IC are two distinct op-amps that can be powered by a single or dual power supply. JRC is a well-known IC among guitar pedal producers, and it offers excellent performance in these circuits. Furthermore, electronic students, hobbyists, and tinkerers employ this IC in their audio projects.

Texas Instruments' NE5532 is a Low Noise Audio Amplifier IC. With unity gain and internal compensation, the IC has very low noise. The IC has a gain of up to 5000 and is hence widely utilized in audio pre-amplifier circuits. The IC is often used in sensitive audio signal conditioning designs due to its strong noise immunity.

The Op-Amp also has a low operating voltage range of 3V to 20V, making it suitable for a wide range of voltages. The Op-Amp also has a wide bandwidth and slew rate, so it may be used in frequency selection to adjust the bass or treble of audio signals and play them in various modes such as Rock, Jazz, and so on.
