Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive

The Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive: Two Classic Circuits, One Sonic Powerhouse

Versatile dual-channel overdrive pedal

The Strymon Sunset is built around the concept of duality, two completely independent drive circuits, each with three selectable voices, giving players a wide range of overdrive textures in a single compact unit. Whether you want to stack for saturation or run each side independently, the Sunset puts total tonal control at your feet. Choose from smooth bluesy warmth, tight germanium-style punch, treble-rich boost, or push into fuzz territory with harder-edged voicings, all without needing to swap pedals mid-set.

Studio-grade signal quality and analog warmth

The Sunset houses a high-end signal path combining a premium analog front end and output stage with 24-bit/96kHz converters. The result, pristine fidelity and dynamic response, even when pushed. Each channel has its own dedicated Drive, Tone, and Level controls, making it easy to dial each overdrive to your instrument and rig. Whether you’re sculpting subtle breakup or dialed-in crunch, the Sunset preserves your playing nuance with zero digital harshness.

Configurable routing and control flexibility

With an onboard CONFIG switch, you can run channels A and B in series (in either order) or in parallel, offering creative routing possibilities that many standalone pedals simply can’t match. There’s also a BRIGHT switch on the rear panel to fine-tune the high-end for different amp and speaker combinations. Need hands-free control? Plug in an expression pedal for real-time parameter sweeps or use an external MiniSwitch to toggle a Favorite preset.

MIDI integration and preset storage

The Sunset isn’t just pedalboard-ready, it’s rig-ready. With built-in MIDI control via the EXP jack, you can recall up to 300 presets and manipulate every knob and switch remotely. This makes Sunset a powerful tool for players using advanced switching systems or software-based performance setups. Save a carefully tuned dual-stack configuration, recall it instantly, and focus on the music, not the tap-dancing.

Road-ready design and smart extras

Beyond the audio engineering and control versatility, the Sunset boasts thoughtful extras like a noise gate with variable threshold, selectable buffered or true bypass, and rugged anodized aluminum construction. It’s a workhorse that’s equally at home in a bedroom studio or on a world tour. With smart switching logic and seamless transitions, the Sunset proves that high-end tone doesn’t have to come with compromises.
