Înființat
Follow these steps to properly set up your Strymon Sunset pedal:
- Conexiune de alimentare: 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 și cerințele actuale.
- Conexiune de intrare: Conectați chitara sau alt instrument la IN mufă jack de pe panoul din spate folosind un cablu standard pentru instrument de 1/4 inch.
- Conexiune de ieșire: Conectați OUT jack on the rear panel to your ampactivator sau următoarea pedală din lanțul de semnal folosind un cablu standard pentru instrument de 6,35 mm.
- Conexiuni opționale:
- 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.

Controale panoului frontal
- 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.
- Texas: Mid-focused, bluesy overdrive with a distinct character.
- Tripla: 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.
- Greu: A harder clipping overdrive with increased compression and sustain.
- JFET: A JFET-based circuit offering a more amp-like, natural overdrive.
- Comutatoare cu picior:
- Un comutator de picior: Engages or bypasses Channel A. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
- B Pedală de picior: Engages or bypasses Channel B. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
Comutatoare panou spate
- 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.
Întreţinere
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Strymon Sunset pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- curatenie: 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.
- Depozitare: Depozitați pedala într-un loc răcoros și uscat, ferit de lumina directă a soarelui, temperaturi extreme și umiditate ridicată.
- Alimentare electrică: 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.
- Conexiuni: Verificați periodic toate conexiunile cablurilor pentru uzură. Asigurați-vă că mufele nu prezintă praf și resturi.
