Strymon Sunset

As far as we’re concerned, the Strymon Sunset deserves the honor of being one of the best overdrives available today. Not only does it sound fantastic, but it’s also extremely functional and versatile. 
Let’s start with the sound! Often, pedals sound… well, like a pedal. That makes sense, of course, and in many cases is even desirable, but the Sunset sounds almost identical to the overdrive of a tube amp: highly dynamic, natural, and truly rich. 
The pedal’s layout is clear and very user-friendly, even though Strymon has packed a lot of functionality and a wide variety of sounds into the Sunset. With the Sunset, you have two completely separate and independently adjustable overdrive channels at your disposal. Channel A offers a range of classic overdrives (germanium diode clipping / Texas soft clipping / treble booster), which are perfect for singing and smooth overdrive tones. Channel B, on the other hand, offers heavier and more complex hard-clipping overdrives.

Channel B is therefore somewhat more aggressive and will, in many cases, logically function as a more intense version of Channel A. However, that doesn’t have to be the case; since both channels can be controlled completely separately (volume, tone, and drive) and can also be switched independently, it’s possible to switch between the two channels, but they can also be stacked. It’s even possible to adjust the order of the two channels relative to each other, and you can also configure them to be routed in parallel. 
And to top it all off, the Sunset is equipped with a noise suppressor as a “secondary feature” (press and hold the B switch, and the level parameter of Channel A controls the noise suppressor).
