Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive Pedal

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. Strymon studied six circuit types found in many truly timeless and iconic overdrive and boost pedals, and put our takes on all six of them into a single two-channel unit.

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.

 


Description

Optimized Stacking.

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. Sunset eliminates the guesswork.

 

Features

Channel A overdrive circuits

The Ge overdrive 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.

The Texas 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 – perfect for playing the blues or just fattening up your sound with a signature midrange bump.

Channel A boost circuit

The Treble type is a treble booster that removes the low frequencies as the Tone knob is turned up – great for tightening up an overdriven amp, or driving another gain pedal that’s a bit looser on the low end. Turning the Tone knob down brings in the low end, making for a versatile all-around boost.

Channel B overdrive circuits

The 2stage 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.

The Hard overdrive 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.

Channel B boost circuit

The JFET 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 “needs a little extra.” 

Digital or analog?
Strymon chose both.

Sunset’s 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’ll want to hear.

    Must have for Apple Remote!!
    Color: Blue, Color: Blue
    I regret not buying this sooner! As most of you know, the Apple TV remote is a slippery little thing, and this case is perfect! Color is bright so you can find your remote, it has a nerve grip so it’s no longer slippery, and the silicon protects it from drops. It doesn’t hinder the buttons and goes on and off super easily. Great investment for the remote.

    How did I watch TV without one?
    Color: blue-glow
    We stayed at an AirBnB recently and the TV was set up to use the tiny, thin AppleTV remote. We have the same remote and I constantly lose it or drop it or brush the touchpad when I don’t mean to. When I saw that they had wrapped their remote in this thin silicone “case”, I went on Amazon and bought one immediately. It arrived right after we got home and took all of 10 seconds to put on the remote. It fits snuggly, but not so much that you have to worry about damaging the remote putting the case on or taking it off. It doesn’t cover any of the buttons or the plug and gives the remote a bit more heft. The ribbing and “stickiness” of the silicone makes it easier to pick up with my big fingers. Now the remote is easier to use (partly because it’s easier to pick up and to hold). It’s also harder to lose, because it makes the remote feel a bit larger, and (ours at least) is in a cool, translucent, day-glo green, that glows in the dark (sort of). Win-win-win...

    What I should have bought long ago
    Color: Black
    Finally! The remote isn’t constantly slipping out of people’s hands or falling inside the couch. I should have thought to buy this years ago. Comfortable- yes. Grippy - yes. Doesn’t get lost anymore. It’s durable/well made. It was the color I expected and looked better than I expected. Great product and price!

    Would be 5 stars if it glowed brighter
    Color: blue-glow, Color: blue-glow
    SHORT VERSION Yes buy this! Just don’t expect it to glow very bright. COLOR I thought about getting the Black, Navy, or Mint Green, but instead I got the ZBlue bc of the glow-in-the-dark feature. I like it, but it doesn’t glow that bright when exposed to a light bulb. You can see the pic I posted that’s almost black, that’s after holding it next to a bright light for a few minutes. But when I exposed it to the sunshine through a window for a few minutes, it glowed MUCH brighter (see the other glow pic). But, how are you going to expose it to the sun when its dark outside? When my wife first saw the color, she said “that’s stupid” haha. But I think it’s growing on her. For these photos, I put it on a white background, with DeWalt Yellow and Kobalt Blue next to it so you can see it’s true color. I wouldn’t buy this for its glowing feature, just buy the color you like. Even at night, there’s usually too much ambient light in the room, from the TV or lamps, for this faint glow to be seen. FIT & FEEL It feels like super soft silicone rubber, I like it. Feels very high quality. The remote slid in really easy, and I thought it might be too big, and the remote would fall out, but it hasn’t. The texture feels great, and the thicker pads on top and bottom help you hold onto the remote. It doesn’t slide between the couch cushions anymore, and that’s really why I bought it! An added bonus is that now I can immediately see which side is the top of the remote! Before, I sometimes hit the wrong button bc I wouldn’t realize I was holding the remote upside down. Overall, I’m definitely glad I bought this.
