Six distinct circuits each feel and react differently in your hands, two at once, all in one convenient package. Push your amp any way you want, from transparent \u201cmore amp\u201d to heavy saturated fuzz, and all the best places in between.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half topbottom\">\n<h1>Holy Grail tone, minus the quest.<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We are all familiar with the endless search for the ultimate overdrive pedal and the perfect tone. We did the critical listening and custom voicing to design each side of Sunset with just one tone knob, so you can quickly dial in the sound you want. The knob ranges for each circuit type are custom calibrated to provide maximal usable control. We applied the same design philosophy and care to the stacking options, ensuring each combination interacts optimally and sounds great, so a huge range of classic overdrive tones are instantly achievable.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"section-5\" class=\"segments\">\n<section class=\"whitebg nopadding\">\n<div class=\"darktext bg-img centeranchor\">\n<div class=\"inside-wrap cf\">\n<div class=\"material textual half nomargin\">\n<h1>Six classic circuits.<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sunset utilizes an all-analog JFET gain stage coupled with custom-voiced, precision-crafted DSP algorithms to capture the nuances and character of each circuit type.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"section-6\" class=\"segments\">\n<section class=\"whitebg nopadding\">\n<div class=\"darktext bg-img \">\n<div class=\"inside-wrap cf\">\n<div class=\"side-side-wrap\">\n<div class=\"textual side-side cf\">\n<div class=\"side-piece\">\n<div class=\"material\">\n<h2>Channel A overdrive circuits<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <strong>Ge<\/strong>\u00a0overdrive combines the softer response of germanium diodes with a parallel path that blends in the dry signal as the Drive is lowered. At higher gains the lower-midrange frequencies are emphasized to create a tight, thick response. This overdrive really fattens up single coil pickups, and responds with a bold push when paired with humbuckers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <strong>Texas<\/strong> overdrive employs a single stage soft-clipper configuration that is filtered before and after the gain stage to create a smooth and dynamic overdrive. The original signal dynamics are retained as the gain is increased \u2013 perfect for playing the blues or just fattening up your sound with a signature midrange bump.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Channel A boost circuit<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <strong>Treble<\/strong> type is a treble booster that removes the low frequencies as the Tone knob is turned up \u2013 great for tightening up an overdriven amp, or driving another gain pedal that\u2019s a bit looser on the low end. Turning the Tone knob down brings in the low end, making for a versatile all-around boost.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"side-piece\">\n<div class=\"material image\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"material\">\n<h2>Channel B\u00a0overdrive circuits<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <strong>2stage<\/strong> overdrive combines a soft-clipping stage followed by a hard-clipping stage, creating a complex overdrive with a wide range of gain. Its EQ structure preserves the low end while adding some muscle to push your amp. This overdrive can easily take you from lightly clipped to beefy saturation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <strong>Hard<\/strong>\u00a0overdrive uses a single-stage hard-clipping circuit that has a ton of available gain, approaching fuzz territory with the Drive knob maxed. At lower gains, mildly clipped transparent tones are achieved with this versatile drive. The wide-ranging Tone knob lets you shape the top end from smooth to buzzy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Channel B boost\u00a0circuit<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <strong>JFET<\/strong> type is a clean boost that subtly beefs up your signal with the dynamics and responsiveness created from the JFET front end. As you turn up the drive, the signal gets rounded and warmer. This is a great option when your amp just \u201cneeds a little extra.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half bottomonly\">\n<h1>Optimized Stacking.<\/h1>\n<p>Since the time when overdrives were created to simply push an amp in order to achieve an overdriven sound even at sane volume levels, players have evolved to want more layered, multistage tonalities. Stacking gives you more flexibility and tone range on the floor. You can find an overdrive that sounds good on its own, then run it through a second drive to add new dimensions to your tone. Sunset allows you to use any of its six overdrive circuits on their own, or route the Channel A drive circuit through Channel B, or Channel B through Channel A, or use two circuits in parallel. Routing options have been chosen deliberately to present the best-sounding combinations of drive circuits.\u00a0Sunset eliminates the guesswork.<\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half bottomonly\">\n<h1>Digital or analog? We chose both.<\/h1>\n<div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sunset\u2019s input features an ultra low noise, discrete, class-A JFET circuit providing up to 20dB of pure analog gain. With our hybrid approach you get the best of both analog and digital worlds: The JFET stage provides exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic interaction with your guitar, while the incredibly powerful SHARC DSP facilitates the great level of detailed complexity and responsiveness you\u2019ll want to hear.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half topbottom\">\n<h2>Configure your drive stack.<\/h2>\n<p>Sunset\u2019s three-position Config switch gives you powerful control over signal flow when you stack two drive circuits. You can run whichever two drive circuits you choose in series, reverse series, or parallel, all with the flip of a switch and no recabling. Coming up with great sounding drive and signal flow combinations is fast and easy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half topbottom\">\n<h2>Custom voiced for any amp.<\/h2>\n<p>Sunset\u2019s three-position Bright switch is custom voiced to perfectly tailor the highest frequencies of your output signal. Minus (-) smooths the top end to work well with\u00a0amps or speakers that have a brighter voice. Neutral (center) provides a balanced top end that works with a variety of amps and speakers. Plus (+) delivers extended high end detail to the warmest amps.<\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half topbottom\">\n<h2>Tame the noise.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sunset has an optional, variable-threshold noise reduction feature to tame hum, buzz, and system noise when you\u2019re not playing. A downward expander with advanced signal detection techniques creates a seamless transition to noise reduced silence with all types of input signal dynamics, including staccato bursts and slowly decaying sustained notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half topbottom\">\n<h2>Everyone has a favorite.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sunset allows you to save and recall your favorite settings. Just connect an optional MiniSwitch or other external latching footswitch with a TRS cable to store and recall your Favorite setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half topbottom\">\n<h2>Morphing expression control.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Connect an expression pedal, and enjoy a whole new level of instantaneous, continuous control. Set as many knobs as you like for the heel position and toe position of your expression pedal, and all settings will simultaneously morph throughout the full range of the expression pedal. Sunset becomes part of your musical instrument, an extension of your musical voice, an active part of your performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half topbottom\">\n<h2>Turn up the\u00a0volume.<\/h2>\n<p>The Expression pedal jack can be set up in Volume Mode, which provides a\u00a0logarithmic taper for smooth volume control, even when Sunset is in bypass mode.\u00a0If you have an expression pedal, this provides an excellent alternative to a standalone Volume pedal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"division lighttext bg-img ready mini-current\">\n<div class=\"inside-wrap cf\">\n<div class=\"material textual onethird nomargin\">\n<h2>Sound Design<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"material textual twothirds topbottom\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Six drive circuit topologies<\/strong> with custom tuned\u00a0voicing for each drive type<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Precision crafted drive circuits\u00a0<b>stackable in multiple combinations<\/b>\u00a0for a wide variety of complex, responsive tones.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Analog\u00a0<b>class A JFET<\/b>\u00a0input gain stage maximizes headroom while adding up to 20dB of pure analog gain<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Drive and Tone\u00a0<b>control ranges optimized for each circuit topology<\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Series, reverse series, and parallel <strong>drive circuit stacking<\/strong> via Config switch<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><b>Bright<\/b>\u00a0switch to tailor the sound for use with all amplifiers from dark to bright<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">\n<div>Optional variable-threshold noise reduction for taming noisy guitar pickups<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"division lighttext bg-img ready mini-current\">\n<div class=\"inside-wrap cf\">\n<div class=\"material textual onethird nomargin\">\n<h2>Ins, Outs, and Switches<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"material textual twothirds topbottom\">\n<ul>\n<li>High impedance mono input<\/li>\n<li>Mono output<\/li>\n<li><strong>Favorite<\/strong><strong>Input<\/strong> to connect an external MiniSwitch to recall a Favorite preset<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expression pedal input\u00a0<\/strong>allows the connection an expression pedal for simultaneous morphing control over multiple parameters (Expression mode), or\u00a0logarithmic taper for smooth volume control (Volume mode)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"division lighttext bg-img ready mini-current\">\n<div class=\"inside-wrap cf\">\n<div class=\"material textual onethird nomargin\">\n<h2>Audio Quality<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"material textual twothirds topbottom\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Ultra\u00a0low noise, high performance\u00a0<strong>24-bit 96kHz A\/D and D\/A<\/strong>\u00a0converters\u00a0provide\u00a0uncompromising audio quality<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Premium analog front end and output section<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Super high performance\u00a0<strong>SHARC DSP<\/strong>\u00a0in a compact form factor<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">32-bit floating point processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"division lighttext bg-img ready mini-current\">\n<div class=\"inside-wrap cf\">\n<div class=\"material textual onethird nomargin\">\n<h2>More<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"material textual twothirds topbottom\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>True Bypass<\/strong>\u00a0(electromechanical relay switching) or selectable transparent\u00a0<strong>Analog Buffered Bypass<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Strong and lightweight\u00a0anodized red\u00a0aluminum chassis<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">9V DC power supply included<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Power requirements:\u00a0maximum 9 volts DC center-negative, with a minimum of 250mA of current<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Dimensions:\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">4.5\u2033 deep x 4\u2033 wide x 1.75\u2033 tall<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">11.4 cm deep x 10.2 cm\u00a0wide x 4.4 cm tall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Designed and built in the USA<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"material textual half topbottom\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h2>Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive Pedal<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Strymon Sunset gives you the best of the best classic overdrive circuits, custom voiced for instantly gratifying control over a huge range of sought-after tones.
