Введение
The Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive and Boost Guitar Effects Pedal is a versatile unit designed for electric and acoustic guitars, synths, and keyboards. It combines six iconic drive circuit types into a two-channel pedal, offering a wide range of tonal possibilities. This manual provides detailed instructions for setup, operation, and maintenance of your Sunset pedal.
Основные характеристики
- CLASSIC OVERDRIVE SOUND: The Sunset overdrive guitar pedal combines six iconic drive circuit types into a two-channel pedal for a wide range of tones. Enjoy custom versions of some of the most sought-after classic drive pedal designs, all in one pedal.
- TWO PEDALS AT ONCE: Sunset offers two independent overdrive pedals that are selectable and routable for complementary tones when stacked. With six distinct circuits, each pedal reacts differently, providing versatile options from transparent boost to heavy fuzz.
- QUICK TONE DIALING: Sunset features one tone knob on each side for easy sonic adjustments, and custom-calibrated knob ranges offer maximum control for each circuit. The stacking options are carefully designed for optimal interaction, ensuring killer tones with a huge range of overdrive flavors to choose from.
- SIX CLASSIC CIRCUITS: Sunset features six classic circuits, each meticulously crafted with an all-analog JFET gain stage and custom-voiced DSP algorithms. Experience the nuanced tones and character of iconic circuits with modern precision and clarity.
- OPTIMIZED STACKING: Use any of its six overdrive circuits individually, route Channel A through Channel B or vice versa, or use the two circuits in parallel. Each routing option is carefully chosen for the best-sounding combinations of drive circuits, eliminating guesswork. Designed and built in the USA.

Режимы работы
The Sunset pedal offers six distinct drive circuits, each with unique characteristics.
Channel A Drive Types

- Ge (Germanium): Combines the softer response of germanium diodes with a parallel path, offering transparent to mid-pushed drive.
- Техас: Employs a single stage soft-clipper with a mid bump, retaining original signal dynamics.
- Высокие частоты: A treble booster that removes low frequencies as the Tone knob is turned up, useful for tightening up sounds.
Channel B Drive Types

- 2Stage: Combines a soft-clipping stage followed by a hard-clipping stage for complex drive.
- Жесткий: Uses a single-stage hard-clipping circuit with a ton of available gain, approaching fuzz territory with the Drive knob maxed.
- JFET: A clean boost that subtly beefs up your signal with dynamics and responsiveness created from the JFET front end.
Stacking Options
Sunset offers flexible routing options for combining its two independent overdrive pedals.

- А-> В: Routes Channel A's drive circuit through Channel B.
- В-> А: Routes Channel B's drive circuit through Channel A.
- А+Б: Uses both circuits in parallel, blending their sounds.
Each routing option is carefully chosen for the best-sounding combinations of drive circuits, eliminating guesswork.
