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
