 For the OPN2 chips, the YM3438 is a complete reimplementation of the YM2612 in CMOS instead of NMOS. They also changed the output stage to get rid of some analog error in the YM2612'​s DAC, which produces a distinctive "​ladder effect"​ sound in the audio output, as well as making the output about 10-20dB louder (which also produces excellent signal-to-noise performance). FM synthesis purists might be inclined to choose the YM3438; retro gaming fans will probably go with the YM2612, as this is the physical chip used in the Mega Drive / Genesis Model 1. For the OPN2 chips, the YM3438 is a complete reimplementation of the YM2612 in CMOS instead of NMOS.

 +(Note about the next two paragraphs: the resistor values given in the parts list are the ones I used and tested for each of YM2612 and YM3438, there'​s no clipping or other issues. If you don't want to experiment, use those.)
  
 The differences for this module are relatively simple. For a YM2612, the audio outputs require a known load to perform to spec--these are R8 and R9. The value of 2.2k was taken from the [[http://​www.sega-16.com/​forum/​showthread.php?​26568-Introducing-the-Mega-Amp-The-universal-Genesis-audio-circuit|Mega Amp design]], but some experimentation may be warranted. The differences for this module are relatively simple.
