STRYMON SUNSET Strymon has a reputation for making some of the best effects in the business, especially when it comes to reverb and delay. If you ever nerd out over pictures of pedalboards, it seems like the El Capistan, Timeline, and BigSky appear on damn near every board you look at, and for good reason. But can Strymon do dirt too? Hell yeah, it can. The Sunset is a powerful dual dirt box and it sounds amazing. Both dirt sections have Tone, Level, and Drive knobs, and each section has three modes. You can run one into the other, or use both in parallel for a stunning number of beautiful dirty combinations. You can also use an expression pedal to control various parameters. Sure, I can understand why you’d be hesitant to buy a digital dirt pedal, but you can throw your cares aside—the future is here, and it sounds freaking good. ToneReport.com 19
