A modern dual overdrive built around classic "vintage" topologies
The Sunset was designed to address a well-known reality for guitarists: you can spend years stacking gain pedals to achieve, depending on the song, a slight "more amp" grit, a boost that tightens the low end, or a denser saturation close to fuzz. Rather than offering a single tone, Strymon brings together six overdrive/boost circuit approaches (germanium, mid voicing, treble boost, multiple stages, hard clipping, JFET boost) and puts them into a two-channel format designed for stacking. The result: a versatile yet structured drive pedal, with interactions designed to sound right when combining two gains.
Who is the Strymon Sunset for?
The Sunset is aimed at guitarists who want a simpler pedalboard without sacrificing variety: one channel for the main drive, the other for a boost, a second saturation stage, or a wider parallel mode. It suits both intermediate and experienced musicians thanks to its clear logic (A/B + Config) and very usable adjustment ranges.
In terms of styles, it excels in blues, rock, pop, indie, worship, and any situation where you seek pick dynamics and good guitar volume response. In the studio, it facilitates quick takes (consistent sounds, minimal guesswork). Live, the stacking allows switching from crunch to a denser lead or "pushing" an already saturated amp without losing bass control.

Questions frequently asked
What overdrive modes are available on the Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive?
Channels A and B each feature three circuits: Ge, Texas, and Treble for A, and 2 Stage, Hard, and JFET for B.
Can the order of the two gain channels be changed?
The Config switch offers series, reverse series, and parallel routing. The series order alters attack and gain feel. The parallel mode retains more definition while adding thickness.
What power supply is required for this pedal?
This pedal requires a 9 V DC center-negative power supply capable of providing at least 250 mA.
Does the Sunset accept an expression pedal and MIDI?
An Expression input allows simultaneous control of multiple parameters or volume control. The same jack provides access to MIDI control and 300 preset locations.
How to reduce noise with sensitive pickups?
An optional noise gate with adjustable threshold helps tame noisy pickups without stifling playing dynamics.
