Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive Pedal

Введение

The Strymon Sunset is a versatile dual overdrive pedal designed to provide a wide range of classic overdrive and distortion tones. It features two independent channels, A and B, each offering distinct overdrive circuits, allowing for flexible tone shaping and stacking options. This manual provides detailed instructions on setting up, operating, and maintaining your Sunset pedal.

Настраивать

Follow these steps to properly set up your Strymon Sunset pedal:

1. Подключение питания: Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (center-negative, 200mA minimum) to the 9 В постоянного тока input jack on the rear panel. Ensure the power supply meets the specified voltagе и текущие требования.
2. Входное соединение: Подключите гитару или другой инструмент к IN Разъем на задней панели подключается с помощью стандартного инструментального кабеля 1/4 дюйма.
3. Выходное соединение: Подключите ВНЕ разъем на задней панели к вашему ampусилитель или следующую педаль в вашей сигнальной цепи, используя стандартный инструментальный кабель 1/4 дюйма.
4. Дополнительные соединения:
   • Expression Pedal (EXP): For real-time control over parameters, connect an expression pedal to the ЭКСП Джек.
   • Favorite Switch (FAV): Connect an external favorite switch to the ЛЮБИМОЕ jack to recall a saved preset.

Элементы управления на передней панели

• Channel A Controls:
  • LEVEL A: Adjusts the output volume of Channel A.
  • DRIVE A: Controls the amount of gain/overdrive for Channel A.
  • TONE A: Shapes the tonal character of Channel A, typically acting as a high-cut filter.
  • A Circuit Switch: Selects between three distinct overdrive circuits for Channel A:
    • Ge (Germanium): Smooth, warm, and dynamic overdrive, reminiscent of classic germanium diode circuits.
    • Техас: Mid-focused, bluesy overdrive with a distinct character.
    • Высокие частоты: A treble booster circuit, ideal for pushing an already overdriven amp or adding sparkle.
• Channel B Controls:
  • LEVEL B: Adjusts the output volume of Channel B.
  • DRIVE B: Controls the amount of gain/overdrive for Channel B.
  • TONE B: Shapes the tonal character of Channel B.
  • B Circuit Switch: Selects between three distinct overdrive circuits for Channel B:
    • 2 Сtage: A classic two-stage soft-clipping overdrive.
    • Жесткий: A harder clipping overdrive with increased compression and sustain.
    • JFET-транзистор: A JFET-based circuit offering a more amp-like, natural overdrive.
• Ножные переключатели:
  • Ножной переключатель: Engages or bypasses Channel A. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
  • Ножной переключатель B: Engages or bypasses Channel B. The corresponding LED indicates its status.

Переключатели на задней панели

• B->A / A+B Switch: This switch determines the stacking order when both channels are engaged:
  • B->A: Channel B feeds into Channel A. This is useful for boosting Channel A with Channel B's gain.
  • А + В: Channels A and B run in parallel. This allows for blending the two distinct tones.
• Переключатель BRIGHT: A global switch that adds a subtle high-end boost to the overall output.
  • +: Engages the bright boost.
  • -: Disengages the bright boost.

Обслуживание

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Strymon Sunset pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Уборка: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the pedal's enclosure. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Хранилище: Храните педаль в прохладном, сухом месте, вдали от прямых солнечных лучей, экстремальных температур и высокой влажности.
• Источник питания: Always use a regulated 9V DC center-negative power supply that meets the pedal's current requirements (200mA minimum). Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Соединения: Периодически проверяйте все кабельные соединения на предмет износа и повреждений. Убедитесь, что разъёмы свободны от пыли и мусора.
