Sanidi
Follow these steps to properly set up your Strymon Sunset pedal:
- Muunganisho wa Nishati: 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 na mahitaji ya sasa.
- Muunganisho wa Ingizo: Unganisha gitaa lako au ala nyingine ya muziki kwenye IN jack on the rear panel using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Muunganisho wa Pato: Unganisha NJE jack on the rear panel to your amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Viunganisho vya Chaguo:
- 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.

Udhibiti wa Paneli ya Mbele
- Vidhibiti vya Channel A:
- 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.
- Texas: Mid-focused, bluesy overdrive with a distinct character.
- Kutetemeka: A treble booster circuit, ideal for pushing an already overdriven amp or adding sparkle.
- Vidhibiti vya Channel B:
- 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.
- Ngumu: A harder clipping overdrive with increased compression and sustain.
- JFET: A JFET-based circuit offering a more amp-like, natural overdrive.
- Vibao vya miguu:
- A Footswitch: Engages or bypasses Channel A. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
- B Footswitch: Engages or bypasses Channel B. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
Swichi za Jopo la nyuma
- 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.
- Swichi angavu: A global switch that adds a subtle high-end boost to the overall output.
- +: Engages the bright boost.
- -: Disengages the bright boost.
Matengenezo
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Strymon Sunset pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:
