Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive 3-stars Reviews

A lot of sounds ... if you like them

Hi there,

I bought this Strymon Sunset and i was pretty exited to try it because all the review i read.

I hope it was like an overdrive / distortion Tone labs with many possibilities.

And indeed, there are a lot of combinations you can try. There is two part of this pedal:

- Side A with 3 settings: Ge(rmanium) / Texas / Tremble

- Side B with 3 settings too: 2 stages / hard / JFET

- You can decide if you run A into B, B into A or in parallel

It's also built like a tank so it will last for long.

So why such poor total rate ?

Having a lot of possibilities doesn't I like them and:

- I really like the Texas, 2 stages and Hard

- I found Ge OK but not great

- I dislike Tremble and JFET

- On both side of the pedals, i am not satifed with the tone knob. I couldn't reach the tone i want

Of course, it's just personal preference. Maybe you will try it and like it.

But with this price range, i cannot go on with a pedals I am not satisfied and after several hours of testing, i still have my first impression: I don't like it.

And this is why I am return it
