The ST9 is the culmination of the tube screamer, the sound is quite similar to TS but dlivre more sustain and drive.
It has two JRC4558 chips instead of one on the TS.
A fourth Mid Boost button to better control the tonality.
UTILIZATION
It's not really complicated argler, it varies largely depending on amps.
SOUND QUALITY
It far outperforms the Tube Screamer and a lot of TS clones that are available on the market called "boutique".
I use it on a Start, a Tele P90 and also a Yamaha SG2000.
With the drive rgl high enough, a little compression and a tube amp it is fast in the Santanesque sustain. The overdrive sounds like zztop too.
There are certainly many other possible sounds, everything is a matter of taste, guitar and amp.
OVERALL OPINION
I have two pedals of this type, and a Maxon ST9 Maxon ST-01 (electronic diffrent but look identical) Reserved Japanese domestic market.
I tried many overdrive be my choice before the Super Tube Screamer.
There is more gain, it sometimes lacks in TS but TS will be a little easier argler for clean boost or overdrive softs.
I would do without hsiter this choice, the prices are quite levs and is due to the scarcity of the pedals.
Note that Ibanez was going to happen in the SERIES 10 as the STL Super Tube. The circuit is the same I believe it.
