The Strymon sunset is a classic, custom-voiced dual overdrive pedal, features two pedals which can be used separately or stacked together. The pedal is designed with six different overdrive circuits that feel and react differently and have been designed and voice to complement each other’s tone when stacked. A simple 3 control setup have been custom calibrated to provide the perfect amount of customisation for each overdrive, allowing you to quickly and easily dial-in the perfect tone. At the heart of the pedal lies an ultra-low noise, class-A JFET circuit offering up to 20dB of pure analogue gain for exceptional touch sensitivity and responsiveness. A SHARC DSP is also added to the pedal to provide an incredible level of detailed complexity and responsiveness.
The pedal’s all analogue JFET gain stage is coupled with custom-voiced, precision crafted DSP algorithms, helping to capture the nuances and character of all six overdrive circuit type. The pedal is split into two, with channel A and channel B featuring three different overdrive circuits each.
Channel A’s first overdrive is the Ge, combining the soft response of germanium diodes with a parallel path that blends the dry signal as the drive is lowered. This circuit provides an emphasised lower midrange at high gain settings, creating a rick, tight response which fattens up single coil pickups and pushes humbuckers for a bolder sound. The Texas circuit is a single stage soft clipper configuration which is filled before and after the gain stage to create a smooth and dynamic overdrive. This circuit retains the original signal dynamics as the gain’s increased, perfect for playing blues and fattening up your sound with a signature midrange bump. The Treble circuit is a treble booster which removes the low end as the tone control is turned up, perfect for tightening up overdriven amps or driving other gain pedals which have a looser low end.
Channel B’s 2Stage circuit features a soft clipping stage followed by a hard clipping stage, creating a complex overdrive with a wide gain range. The circuits EQ structure preserves the tones low end, adding muscle to push amps from lightly clipped to beefy saturation. The Hard overdrive circuit features a single stage hard clipping circuit, which features a lot of gain approaching on fuzz territory when the drive is set to max. When at lower gain settings, the circuit provides a mildly clipped, transparent tone, and its wide-ranging tone control can be used to shape the top end from smooth to buzzy. The JFET circuit provides a clean boost, subtly beefing up the signal with dynamics and responsiveness. Turing up the drive produces a rounder, warmer tone which is great for adding a ‘little extra’ to amps.
The favourite input allows you to connect external latching footswitches to save and recall your favourite setting, letting you toggle between the current and saved setting seamlessly. An expression pedal input lets you set up as many knobs as you want to your expression pedal, with all settings simultaneously moping throughout the full range of your pedal. The expression input can also be used to connect to volume pedal.
The configuration switch allows you to select the signal flow of the stacked overdrive, offering choices between series, reverse series, or parallel. The bright switch has been custom voiced to perfectly tailor the highest frequencies of the output signal, offering a choice between minus, neutral, and plus. Use the minus setting to create a smooth top end which works well with bright voiced amps and speakers. The neutral setting offers a balanced top end which works well with a rage of amps and speakers, while the plus setting extends the high end detail, perfect for the warmest amps. Channel A’s level control features a secondary function which is accessed by holding down Channel B’s footswitch. The secondary function control noise reduction, allowing you to remove any hum, buzz, and system noise when you’re not playing.
