The Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive is a versatile, dual overdrive pedal offering a wide array of tones through six distinct drive circuits. This pedal provides two independent channels with three different circuit types each: germanium, Texas, and treble boost on one channel, and 2-stage, hard, and JFET boost on the other. Guitarists can stack the drives, run them in series or parallel, and switch the order of the circuits, making it suitable for various musical styles. With its all-analog JFET gain stage and DSP algorithms, the Sunset delivers exceptional responsiveness, touch sensitivity, and detailed sonic complexity, rivaling the sound of other popular overdrive pedals like the Ibanez Tube Screamer.
