Among all the boutique pedals I have owned this is overall the best sounding and by far the most versatile drive pedal I have ever owned.

Thank you so much!

I didn't know I needed this until 1:55

you guys definitely live up to the hype. EVERY TIME.

This demo really creates an atmosphere while driving with the window down. 😎

This is what I expected the riverside to sound like. I'm definitely picking up a sunset when I get my check. Great work guys!

5:46 - is this potentially the best riff in a pedal demo ever… Not even normally a fan of the real mid-pushed overdrive but it sounds pretty amazing! This may be my next pedal

Wow, sounds really great! That riff at 5.50 is so good.

7:16 this audio sample has me drooling over this pedal

Amazing sounds guys :)

Really good players! Beautiful chords, no nonsense noodling!

Manuel Bastian ....... I see similar comments so often on other demos. What's wrong with hearing how the pedal rssponds to some lead examples along with chords? Where is this like, anti-difficult guitar playing sentiment coming from? Personal taste? Bitter envy? A bit of both? It's only senseless noodling if the player sucks. Don't be salty.

Personally, I'd rather hear more rhythm playing in a overdrive demo because it seems like its easier to get a pedal to sound good for single notes than chords. I do like hearing some good noodling in the demo too though

Its a defense machnism built into guitar players until they learn the major scale or pentatonic.... then they shit on people who only chord. A natural progression within humans. Hate it, learn it hate someting else

Kudos to the guys at Strymon. This pedal sounds fantastic! It's what I've been wanting for a long time. I don't think that there is anything that this pedal can't do, and it has quality written all over it. Thanks for putting some careful thought and great features into this one. I'll be getting mine soon.

Really good demo video of the pedal !, I wish all demos were this good, 11 popcorn out of 10

I know I said the riverside was the last overdrive I was going to get but damn, I'm selling all my dirt boxes (sans the Riverside) to get this bad boy. I'm just real curious about the possibility of getting some gnarly fuzz out of the Sunset since I'll be parting with my Park Fuzz!

I wish the playing in all those other pedal demos would be like this. Finally I can hear a pedal similar to how I would play it.

Hey can anyone tell me what kind of pick up the guy has near the bridge of his Tele at about 2:20? I have a stock 62 reissue that sounds incredibly thin and tinny

I'd really love to see another Mason Stoops video with the Sunset...I'm a sucker for Strymon probably because I'm an engineer.

Ordered my Sunset today...can't wait until it comes in. I have an OB1 Compressor... I know it's personal preference but what is recommended to come first in the chain? The OB1 Comp or the Sunset?

@strymon

7 жыл бұрын

+Domenic Campagna I personally place the OB.1 at the front of the chain before my drives so that the dynamics are tightened up before hitting other pedals in the signal chain.

I'd personally like to Strymon do a pedal that emulates a tube amp. The pedal could have cool, useful options, like: -Selectable output tube types...6V6s, EL34s, etc. -Choice of tube or solid state rectification -Adjustable voltage for more/less sag -Adjustable negative feedback -Cathode vs fixed bias The pedal would basically let you control the parameters that give classic amps their signature sound. Add a direct line out for recording + a speaker sim and voila! For me, this would be more useful. Lots of guys don't have the option of taking their tube amp to the "sweet spot" when they play smaller venues. So what do they do? They stick a drive pedal in front of a clean amp (which sounds underwhelming). Why not make a pedal that could respond and sound like a tube amp at it's sweet spot? So many companies have failed at digital amp modeling where Strymon could actually succeed. This seems like low-hanging fruit to me--I'd rather see Strymon tackle modeling a tube amp instead of adding another drive pedal to the thousands already on the market.

Josh Neilson there is a pedal you may be interested in called the Sherlock V3. Made in Australia it's a high voltage AC, 3x12ax7 tubes, 2 channel pedal. It's a real preamp stompbox that no analogue or digital pedal can match. Dale has only made a few but 100 are headed to the USA. I demoed it at the Melbourne Guitar Show and Dale gave me one. It is the hands down best distortion pedal I've ever played.

I've been trying to find a drive pedal that's not a tube screamer, or a Klon. This pedal sounds really good. I'm trying to find something that sounds good in the clean setting of the Boss Katana. This might do it. This will be my 4th Strymon..I'm sensing a trend, here. lol! Thanks Strymon!

It wouldn't surprise me if Strymon brings out a Timeline size version of this pedal, with MIDI and presets.

Holy cow that tone at 2:12 !

I was ready to let this pedal go because I have a King Tone and to many drives, but it does it's own thing and the ability to parallel a+b sides is to good to let go!

If you are in the market for a boutique phaser though, I'd recommend you check out that Empress.

I'm missing intense fuzz sounds like a tone bender. Then it would be the all-in-one overdrive on my pedal board.

*strymon* bit off topic...myslef I would love to see you guys put out a multi-effects that focused on ambient fx ,for example a larger unit with big sky,mobius and timeline + some eq/compression features rolled into one pedal with an onboard expression pedal. Put a loop on it for od/fuzz pedals and it would be amazing and so much simpler than the rat's nest I have.There's tons of multifx that emphasis modelling preamp stuff,nobody does a quality effects specialized multi-fx..seems like an open niche nobody bothered with. I'm still bummed you don't offer more then 3db cut on your pedal line or in updates,if ever you came up with more pedals it would be much more useful for %100 wet ambient sounds to be able to cut more than 3db.
