מָבוֹא

The Strymon Sunset is a versatile dual overdrive pedal designed to provide a wide range of classic overdrive and distortion tones. It features two independent channels, A and B, each offering distinct overdrive circuits, allowing for flexible tone shaping and stacking options. This manual provides detailed instructions on setting up, operating, and maintaining your Sunset pedal.

הגדרה

Follow these steps to properly set up your Strymon Sunset pedal:

1. חיבור חשמל: 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 והדרישות הנוכחיות.
2. חיבור קלט: חברו את הגיטרה או כלי נגינה אחר שלכם אליה IN שקע בפאנל האחורי באמצעות כבל מכשיר סטנדרטי בגודל 1/4 אינץ'.
3. חיבור פלט: חבר את הַחוּצָה jack on the rear panel to your amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
4. חיבורים אופציונליים:
   • דוושת אקספרסיה (EXP): For real-time control over parameters, connect an expression pedal to the EXP ג'ֵק.
   • Favorite Switch (FAV): Connect an external favorite switch to the FAV jack to recall a saved preset.

פקדי לוח קדמי

• 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.
    • טקסס: Mid-focused, bluesy overdrive with a distinct character.
    • לְשַׁלֵשׁ: 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.
    • קָשֶׁה: A harder clipping overdrive with increased compression and sustain.
    • JFET: A JFET-based circuit offering a more amp-like, natural overdrive.
• מתגי רגליים:
  • מתג רגליים: Engages or bypasses Channel A. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
  • מתג רגליים B: Engages or bypasses Channel B. The corresponding LED indicates its status.

מתגי לוח אחורי

• 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.
• מתג BRIGHT: A global switch that adds a subtle high-end boost to the overall output.
  • +: Engages the bright boost.
  • -: Disengages the bright boost.

תַחזוּקָה

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Strymon Sunset pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• ניקוי: 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.
• אִחסוּן: יש לאחסן את הדוושה במקום קריר ויבש, הרחק מאור שמש ישיר, טמפרטורות קיצוניות ולחות גבוהה.
• ספק כוח: 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.
• חיבורים: בדקו מעת לעת את כל חיבורי הכבלים לאיתור בלאי. ודאו שהשקעים נקיים מאבק ופסולת.
