The Guitar Channel - Passion Amplifier show

Summary: <br> Here's the Sunset, the latest effort from <a href="http://theguitarchannel.biz/tag/strymon">Strymon</a> to attack the analog kingdom of overdrive and boost pedals. After the Riverside also reviewed on The Guitar Channel, this new double pedal propose another angle with 6 types of overdrive and boost, 3 per sides of the pedal, that you can combine. In fact you can have A going into B, B going into A or both running in parallel. This gives a lot of option to sculpt your tone.<br> Sunset Strymon pedal video review<br> The audio version of the review is available in the <a href="http://theguitarchannel.biz/tgcpodcast">podcast</a> feed and below:<br> What I enjoyed the most<br> <br> * The boost Treble and JFet booster are excellent<br> * Manufacturing quality always at the top in Strymon<br> * The routing options<br> * The variety of sounds<br> <br> What I enjoyed the least<br> <br> * Maybe too many possibilities<br> <br> Conclusion<br> The Sunset is a great pedal. It sounds really good and brings a lot of option to either a fully clean amp or a slightly overdriven tube amp that you will be able to push with the boosters. At $300, it's not a cheap tone machine but don't forget that for this price you actually have two pedals in one.<br> The back of the pedal reveals some cool features like the bright switch to adapt to any kind of amps, the A/B switch, the expression pedal input as well as the favorite pedal input for a complete control of the Sunset.<br> <br> Until the next <a href="http://theguitarchannel.biz/tag/gear/">gear review</a>, keep on playing the guitar!<br> Pierre.<br> <br>
