Converting discrete op-amp into chip?

The first section of that circuit (Q8, Q10, Q11, Q13, Q14... above in the picture) is almost the discrete version of the first stage of TS8 so put all the components in a protoboard and try it and compare that with the original circuit. Sure the result would be a little bit different in comparison with the original circuit

Did you mean the TS808? Because i'm not familiar with the TS8.
Thanks

It's not exactly the same.

Do you have a schematic of the TS8? I can't seem to find one.

So, read this very good article about:

This is the ts8 circuit.
What you have to consider is replace the "clipping amp".

Thanks.
So this is just the standard TS9\TS808 schematic i'm familiar with. Do you refer to the TS808 as the TS8?

So I think i'm starting to figure it out.
Looking again at the OD3 schematic- Q13, Q14 and Q1 form the op amp, before that there is a notch filter (R34, R35, R48).
Q8 is the input buffer and Q9 is used for switching.
So what is the purpose of Q10??
