Description
Strymon Sunset – Dual Overdrive
The Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive is a powerful, highly versatile overdrive pedal that combines six classic drive and boost circuits into one compact, performance-ready unit. Designed for guitarists who want everything from transparent boost and dynamic low-gain overdrive through to thick, saturated distortion and near-fuzz levels of gain, Sunset gives you an enormous range of tones without filling your pedalboard with multiple drive pedals.
Featuring two independently selectable overdrive channels, Sunset lets you choose from three custom-voiced circuits on each side. Channel A offers Ge, Texas and Treble options, while Channel B provides 2stage, Hard and JFET circuits. Each circuit has been carefully voiced to provide its own response, character and tonal range, making it easy to build everything from classic blues and rock tones to modern high-gain sounds.
Optimised Dual Overdrive Stacking
Where the Sunset really shines is its ability to combine two drive circuits. The three-position Config switch allows the channels to run in series, reverse series or parallel, giving you multiple ways to shape your gain structure. Run each side independently, stack one into the other, or blend the two in parallel to create complex, layered overdrive tones.
Strymon combines a Class A JFET analogue input stage with precision DSP processing, delivering excellent touch response, dynamics and headroom while accurately recreating the character of each custom-voiced drive circuit. The result is a responsive pedal that reacts naturally to your playing style and guitar.
Six Distinct Drive & Boost Sounds
- Ge: A thick, responsive overdrive with a softer germanium-style character and tight lower-mid response.
- Texas: Smooth, dynamic overdrive with a distinctive midrange emphasis, ideal for blues and classic rock.
- Treble: A versatile boost that can trim low frequencies to tighten up an overdriven amp or another gain pedal.
- 2stage: A powerful multi-stage overdrive capable of taking you from subtle breakup through to beefy saturation.
- Hard: A high-gain hard-clipping circuit that can move from transparent drive into aggressive, almost fuzz-like territory.
- JFET: A clean, dynamic boost that adds warmth and muscle while retaining a natural playing response.
Built for Modern Pedalboards
Sunset also includes a range of advanced features that make it suitable for demanding live and studio setups. An adjustable noise reduction system can help tame unwanted hum and buzz when you're not playing, while the Bright switch lets you tailor the high-frequency response to suit different amplifiers and speakers.
The pedal supports Favorite preset recall, expression pedal control and Volume Mode, while MIDI control provides access to presets and remote control of the pedal's parameters. Sunset offers up to 300 MIDI preset locations, making it particularly useful for sophisticated pedalboard and touring rigs.
With selectable True Bypass or transparent Analog Buffered Bypass, 24-bit/96kHz conversion, 32-bit floating-point processing and a premium analogue front end and output stage, the Sunset is built to deliver high-quality performance in the studio, on stage and in the rehearsal room.
