Peavey socketed every IC that they used for 25 years and I have never
seen
a failure due to a socket.

I concur, never seen a problem with any socketed stuff in amps, but i guess
it would be possible, maybe a dab of silicone under the chip just to make
sure?

ACK! Absolutely not! One of the by-products of the curing process
is the release of acetic acid, which will wreak havoc on any electrical
connections.

Many silicone rubbers do not release acetic acid when they cure -- I
don't smell it with any recent GE product. Even those that do will not
cause a problem afterthe curing process is finished. Just don't put the
whatever-it-is back together for 2-3 days (until you no longer smell
vinegar). After that, the stuff is almost entirely non-reactive.

It's almost too unlikely to happen to warrant mention ...
integrated circuit used to generate timing pulses [555].
There's a dual version known as a "556" and a quad
version, a lot more rare than the 555 and 556, called,
you guessed it, a 558.

Aaack! Too much! :-o M.
