ST9Pro+ Super Tube
 One of the rarest and most desirable pedals in the original 9-Series lineup, the Maxon-made Ibanez ST-9 Super Tube Screamer was coveted for its ability to control the pedal’s “midrange hump” via the Mid Boost control. A perfect candidate for reissue, Maxon has taken the original ST-9 concept and added a few new tricks that make it even more versatile and desirable: The result is the Maxon ST-9 Pro+ Super Tube.
Based around Maxon’s classic “808” overdrive circuit, the Super Tube can create powerful, fat guitar tones that rival the greatest tube amp. The ST-9 Pro+ features the following controls:
Level – Determines overall output level of pedal
Drive – Controls amount of distortion
Tone – A Hi-cut/Hi-boost tone circuit that controls hi-frequency range of signal.
Mid Enhance – Controls midrange boost frequency
The ST-9 Pro+ also features a new Classic/Low-Boost Mode switch. This switch selects between two different sets of clipping diodes for more tube-like distortion characteristics. In addition, the “Low Boost” setting also boosts Low (+12dB at 100Hz) and Mid (+4dB at 500Hz) frequency ranges, making it ideal to “thicken up” the sound of single coil pickups or generally beef up your lows for a fatter sound.
The Super Tube Also offers switchable 9- or 18-volt operation. In Classic 9-volt, the ST-9 runs at the incoming supply voltage, greatly extending battery life. When switched to Stabilized 18-volt setting, Maxon’s proprietary DC-DC voltage doubler circuit increases the headroom, frequency range, and dynamic response of the ST-9. Stabilized operation is recommended for musicians who use external DC power supplies.
With the ST-9’s controls and voltage options an almost unlimited variety of overdriven tones can be dialed in. Whether you play Blues, Rock or Metal, the ST-9 Pro+ Super Tube offers a plethora of tube-like tones in a flexible, compact package.

SM9Pro+ Super Metal
 Over the past 10 years Maxon effects have become a key ingredient in the guitar rigs of countless metal bands. Notable artists such as Killswitch Engage, Arch Enemy, As I Lay Dying, Dimmu Borgir, Shadow’s Fall, and Behemoth have come to rely on Maxon effects to create their brutal guitar tones on stage and in the studio.
The irony in this (pun intended) is that Maxon has never offered a pedal tailored to the needs of the metal guitarist – until now.
Introducing the Maxon SM-9 Pro+ Super Metal – specifically designed to reproduce high-gain distortion tones with cut midrange, the SM-9 Pro+ can recreate anything from the classic crunch of the NWOBHM through to today’s most extreme drop-tuned metal.
Developing such a diverse circuit was no easy task, and the SM-9 was on the drawing board for years before Maxon deemed it worthy of release. Several unique “tricks” were incorporated to create a pedal that is as versatile as it is merciless.
The SM-9 Pro+ features four controls:
LEVEL - determines overall output level of pedal
GAIN - Dual Pot configuration determines degree of Gain while also boosting midrange band up
to 20 dB @ 1 kHz.
EDGE - Controls hi-tone range (Hi-cut shelving filter continuously variable between 2-15 kHz).
SCOOP - Controls the frequency range where the Midrange Cut occurs (mid-band
Elimination filter continuously variable between 200 Hz and 2 kHz).
By boosting and cutting specific frequency bands in relation to Gain, these four controls allow the user to sculpt brutal, chunky guitar tones that still retain note clarity and definition – a rarity among high-gain “metal” pedals.
The SM-9 Pro+ also offers switchable 9- or 18-volt operation. In Classic 9-volt, the SM-9 runs at the incoming supply voltage, greatly extending battery life. When switched to Stabilized 18-volt setting, Maxon’s proprietary DC-DC voltage doubler circuit increases the headroom, frequency range, and dynamic response of the SM-9 pedal. This Stabilized operation is recommended for musicians who use external DC power supplies.
Using the SM-9’s controls and voltage options, an almost unlimited variety of monstrous high-gain tones can be dialed in. Whether you’re a full-time metal maniac or just need the occasional “nuclear blast” without the bulk or volume of a full amp stack, the Maxon SM-9 Pro + Super Metal will deliver the goods.

TBO-9 True Tube Booster/Overdrive -
 The TBO-9 True Tube Booster/OD utilizes the same "pre-tube" configuration as the TOD-9. However, the TBO-9 also features the Dry Blend feature found in Maxon's popular OD820 and VOP-9 overdrives.
The Drive Control has the dual function of increasing saturation and blending clean signal in against the distorted sound. At zero, the TBO-9 is passing pure clean tone, but this signal can be altered using the Gain and Tone controls of the pedal, effectively creating a tube preamp/booster.
As Drive is increased, saturated signal is blended in against the clean tone, realizing a 50/50 mix at the 12 o'clock position. At fully clockwise position, the TBO-9 acts as a tube overdrive, much like the TOD-9.
Using the TBO-9, a wide range of tube booster/overdrive tones can be achieved, all of them yielding the warm, organic tube tone that every guitarist craves.

TOD-9 True Tube Overdrive -
 The TOD-9 True Tube Overdrive is unarguably the most tube-amp sounding overdrive on the market - due in no small part to the fact that is has a vacuum tube inside!
Based around a Subminiature Mil-spec tube running at 30 VDC, the TOD-9 uses a unique "pre-tube" circuit configuration that cascades the tube output into a solid-state distortion circuit. The result is a warm yet powerful guitar tone that is incredibly interactive with the player's performance, much like a hard-working tube-amp.
Featuring Drive, Tone, Level and Tube controls, the TOD-9 allows the user to tailor the tone from a subtle overdrive boost to fully saturated sonic glory. Mechanical true bypass switching allows for clean, unaltered guitar tone in bypass.

FL9 Flanger -
 A top-selling model of the original 9-Series, the FL-9's wide operation range and full frequency response allow it to work with any input signal to create a diverse assortment of modulation and time-delay effects. Improved construction including through-hole, glass reinforced epoxy PCB's, snap-in PCB connectors, and true bypass switching guarantee trouble free performance while the combination of one Panasonic MN3207 BBD IC and one Signetics NE570 compander provides warm yet crystal-clear flanging with zero clock noise. Rate, Depth and Regeneration controls allow the user to dial in everything from shimmering chorus and vibrato to hollow, metallic overtones to thick, jet-like flanging sweeps.
In addition to these standard controls the FL-9 features a Delay Time knob that allows for a vast array of all-new spatial effects. The Delay Time control exhibits an inverse relation between the delay time and the frequency shift of the flange - as the delay time increases, the frequency that is shifted decreases. This inverse relation creates an amazingly realistic, three-dimensional flanging effect. In addition, the Delay Time control is interactive with the Rate and Depth controls, so that if you increase the Depth, the Delay Time range increases, and if you increase the Speed, the Delay Time changes faster.
Like other time-delay models in the Maxon line, the FL-9 uses an analog comb filtering circuit to provide its lush effect. A comb filter reintroduces the delayed signal against the original signal, generating "double level" peaks and "cancellation" notches at certain frequency points that create the effect. If there is a downside to comb filtering, it is that the peaks can cause the output level of the unit to be louder than when bypassed. In an effort to eliminate this problem, the FL-9 has been carefully calibrated to provide unity gain when engaged. In addition, the FL-9's performance is kept exceptionally quiet thanks to a Signetics #NE570 compander and true bypass switching using a 4PDT mechanical switch.

CS9 Chorus Pro -
 The first new 9-Series model in 20 years, the CS-9 Stereo Chorus Pro offers dramatic improvements over the original CS-9. In addition to Rate and Depth controls, the CS-9 Pro features Delay Time and Dry Blend controls for limitless tonal options. Improved construction including through-hole, glass reinforced epoxy PCB's, snap-in PCB connectors, and true bypass switching guarantee trouble free performance while the combination of one Panasonic MN3207 BBD IC and one Signetics NE570 compander provides warm yet crystal-clear chorus with zero clock noise.
The CS-9 Pro offers an entire range of classic and unique new chorusing effects. With circuitry based around the Panasonic MN3207 (low voltage BBD IC, now out of production), the CS-9 Pro's Rate and Depth control can conjure every chorus texture from subtle to severe. The custom-tuned oscillator circuit can provide enough speed to authentically imitate rotary speaker cabinets and just the right amount of modulation for a lush vibrato that won't leave you feeling seasick.
The real secret behind the CS-9 Pro's amazing tone lies in the Delay Time control. The Delay Time control exhibits an inverse relation between the delay time and the frequency shift of the chorus - as the delay time increases, the frequency that is shifted decreases. This inverse relation creates "double level" and "cancellation" peaks and notches at particular frequency points to create an amazingly realistic, three-dimensional chorus effect. In addition, the Delay Time control is interactive with the Rate and Depth controls, so that if you increase the Depth, the Delay Time range increases, and if you increase the Speed, the Delay Time changes faster.
For even more versatility, the CS550 features a front-mounted Dry Blend control that determines the level of effected signal vs. dry signal, making the CS-9 Pro perfect for use with Bass Guitar as well. True stereo outputs allow for mono, stereo, or inverted mono (90 degrees out of phase) signal routing. The CS-9 Pro's performance is kept exceptionally quiet thanks to a Signetics #NE570 compander and true bypass switching using a 4PDT mechanical switch.
