Holy Grail tone, minus the quest.
We are all familiar with the endless search for the ultimate overdrive pedal and the perfect
tone. We did the critical listening and custom voicing to design each side of Sunset with just
one tone knob, so you can quickly dial in the sound you want. The knob ranges for each circuit
type are custom calibrated to provide maximal usable control. We applied the same design
philosophy and care to the stacking options, ensuring each combination interacts optimally
and sounds great, so a huge range of classic overdrive tones are instantly achievable.
Two pedals at once.
Optimized stacking.
Sunset is really two customizable overdrive pedals, independently selectable and flexibly
routable, designed and voiced for complementary tones when stacked. Six distinct circuits
each feel and react differently in your hands, two at once, all in one convenient package. Push
your amp any way you want, from transparent “more amp” to heavy saturated fuzz, and all the
best places in between.
Since the time when overdrives were created to simply push an amp in order to achieve an
overdriven sound even at sane volume levels, players have evolved to want more layered,
multistage tonalities. Stacking gives you more flexibility and tone range on the floor. You can
find an overdrive that sounds good on its own, then run it through a second drive to add new
dimensions to your tone. Sunset allows you to use any of its six overdrive circuits on their own,
or route the Channel A drive circuit through Channel B, or Channel B through Channel A, or use
two circuits in parallel. When stacking overdrive pedals, some combinations work especially
well together. Sunset eliminates the guesswork. Routing options have been chosen deliberately
to present the best-sounding combinations of drive circuits.
Digital or analog? We chose both.
Sunset’s input features an ultra low noise, discrete, class-A JFET circuit providing up to
20dB of pure analog gain. With our hybrid approach you get the best of both analog and
digital worlds: The JFET stage provides exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic interaction
with your guitar, while the incredibly powerful SHARC DSP facilitates the great level of
detailed complexity and responsiveness you’ll want to hear.
