Vintage Ibanez SM9 Super Metal Analog Overdrive/Distortion Pedal
The SM9 has enough gain to satisfy anyone and can get a very convincing Marshall/Boogie sound, in addition to some very bluesy tones when the drive setting is lowered.
The E.Q. controls are very powerful offering a boost/cut feature that allows you to boost or cut Hi, Mid, & Low frequencies in order to custom tailor your tone.
In addition, this pedal has not one, but two of the highly coveted JRC4558D chips, the same ones as found in the early TS808 & TS9 Tube Screamers.
* The LED is bright
* The sound is incredible
* There are no scratchy pots
* The FET on/off switch works flawlessly
* There are no issues, the unit functions perfectly
Market value for a True Vintage SM9 ranges from $150 to $300 depending on condition...grab this one while you can...looks good and is 100% functional in every way!
Working on getting an "individual" picture of it...but...it's the 4th pedal from the left and is in good shape...

$124.99 plus $7.50 Shipping...they're going for more on eBay if you search. I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it...plus I can put the money towards my "Stevie Ray Vai" Project!
