Q: What is the difference between the FG456 and FG9 tape settings?

456 was introduced in 1975 as a “high output” tape formula that was needed since new tape decks at the time were able to handle higher headroom signals in their electronics. 456 is known as a “+6” tape, which means it’s +6dB over the 185 nWb/m standard... which means you have an additional 6dB of headroom before tape saturation occurs.

GP9 is a more modern tape that has an even thicker layer of oxide and is known as a “+9” tape (570 nWb/m). GP9 became very popular because you could record at hotter levels and not have the same introduction of saturation and distortion.
