Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive Pedal

Uvod

The Strymon Sunset is a versatile dual overdrive pedal designed to provide a wide range of classic overdrive and distortion tones. It features two independent channels, A and B, each offering distinct overdrive circuits, allowing for flexible tone shaping and stacking options. This manual provides detailed instructions on setting up, operating, and maintaining your Sunset pedal.

Setup

Follow these steps to properly set up your Strymon Sunset pedal:

1. Priključak za napajanje: Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (center-negative, 200mA minimum) to the 9VDC input jack on the rear panel. Ensure the power supply meets the specified voltage i trenutni zahtjevi.
2. Ulazni priključak: Povežite svoju gitaru ili neki drugi instrument na IN priključak na zadnjoj ploči pomoću standardnog instrumentalnog kabela od 1/4 inča.
3. Izlazna veza: Povežite OUT jack on the rear panel to your amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
4. Opcione veze:
   • Expression Pedal (EXP): For real-time control over parameters, connect an expression pedal to the EXP Jack.
   • Favorite Switch (FAV): Connect an external favorite switch to the FAV jack to recall a saved preset.

Kontrole na prednjoj ploči

• Channel A Controls:
  • LEVEL A: Adjusts the output volume of Channel A.
  • DRIVE A: Controls the amount of gain/overdrive for Channel A.
  • TONE A: Shapes the tonal character of Channel A, typically acting as a high-cut filter.
  • A Circuit Switch: Selects between three distinct overdrive circuits for Channel A:
    • Ge (Germanium): Smooth, warm, and dynamic overdrive, reminiscent of classic germanium diode circuits.
    • Teksas: Mid-focused, bluesy overdrive with a distinct character.
    • Visoki tonovi: A treble booster circuit, ideal for pushing an already overdriven amp or adding sparkle.
• Channel B Controls:
  • LEVEL B: Adjusts the output volume of Channel B.
  • DRIVE B: Controls the amount of gain/overdrive for Channel B.
  • TONE B: Shapes the tonal character of Channel B.
  • B Circuit Switch: Selects between three distinct overdrive circuits for Channel B:
    • 2 Stage: A classic two-stage soft-clipping overdrive.
    • teško: A harder clipping overdrive with increased compression and sustain.
    • JFET: A JFET-based circuit offering a more amp-like, natural overdrive.
• nožni prekidači:
  • Nožni prekidač: Engages or bypasses Channel A. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
  • B Nožni prekidač: Engages or bypasses Channel B. The corresponding LED indicates its status.

Prekidači na stražnjoj ploči

• B->A / A+B Switch: This switch determines the stacking order when both channels are engaged:
  • B->A: Channel B feeds into Channel A. This is useful for boosting Channel A with Channel B's gain.
  • A+B: Channels A and B run in parallel. This allows for blending the two distinct tones.
• BRIGHT Switch: A global switch that adds a subtle high-end boost to the overall output.
  • +: Engages the bright boost.
  • -: Disengages the bright boost.

Održavanje

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Strymon Sunset pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• čišćenje: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the pedal's enclosure. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Skladištenje: Čuvajte pedalu na hladnom i suhom mjestu, dalje od direktne sunčeve svjetlosti, ekstremnih temperatura i visoke vlažnosti.
• Napajanje: Always use a regulated 9V DC center-negative power supply that meets the pedal's current requirements (200mA minimum). Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Veze: Povremeno provjeravajte sve kablovske spojeve na istrošenost i oštećenja. Osigurajte da su utičnice bez prašine i ostataka.
