Phil Short | Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive | The only overdrive pedal you'll ever need?

[@miksilplik]

Incredible playing and great review of this pedal. I've had the Sunset for about a week and it's a permanent fixture on my board now. Great pedal!

[@YngtchieMusic]

This is a great demo, my only gripe is that you refer to the Ge as the "fuzz" setting. I mean, there's nothing fuzz-like about it, I'm pretty sure it's meant to replicate the Klon type of sound.

[@PhilShortGuitarist]

Ye you’re absolutely right, bit of an incorrect assumption on my part. I do realise that in the demo and say it doesn’t sound very fuzz like at all when I demo that circuit. In future I’ll make sure I try all the settings thoroughly before turning the camera on 😂

[@gregmize01]

Incorrect! It's a germanium style treble boost...it has zero relevance to a Klon!

[@EinerVonDenen]

@@gregmize01 Oh really?? Well, then Strymon themselves must be wrong I guess, cause this is what they write on their own website: „Ge - The Ge type’s dual path architecture is a newer classic, being brought into existence by Bill Finnegan with the introduction of the Klon Centaur. A host of excellent sounding ‘Klones’ have followed, creating a category of overdrive in its own right.“

That's what she said

Amazing playing and explanations! This video was very helpful to decide. Thanks!

[@jimgrasso697]

I have been going back and forth between sunset, the protein and the OD200 for about 2 weeks now and this video finally helped me make up my mind! Sunset it is! Your playing is INCRED-IBLE. Subscribed and definitely going to check out some of the lesson videos you posted - I've been playing for years and I feel kind of stuck. I think these might help! Thanks!

[@Breathemusic4202]

Video starts at 1:43. Showing off starts right away

[@richardmorris363]

Yep. The dude can play. No doubt. And I think there are more comments about his playing than about the pedal. It’s part of the reason pedal companies send products to great players. People naturally associate the playing with the pedal. I say of all these demos made by great players … if want to hear you play I’ll buy your CD. Pete Thorn’s Guitar Nerd is awesome. BTW I own this pedal. Just got it today. Freakin amazing.

[@AdamskiHamski]

Great demo of this hugely versatile pedal! I picked one up last week and this vid has really helped me get to grips with it, cheers Phil. Subbed 👍🏼

[@PhilShortGuitarist]

Cheers Adam, appreciate it!

[@marshallderrick793]

Damn dude your playing is 🔥!!

[@jaquesels581]

Great playing Phil. Have you played Strymon Riverside as comparison? I love the Texas overdrive sound

[@sublyme2157]

Welll dayum, I did not see that coming! Amazing opening song man, seriously!

[@razifraship]

With this kind of playing/review, one day you’ll hit hundreds thousand… at least…

Great demo of a really cool pedal...think I may be adding the Sunset to my board very soon! Awesome playing too my friend.

[@PhilShortGuitarist]

Cheers Gaz appreciate that mate!

Holy 🐄 this guy can play the 💩 out of a guitar 🎸!!!!!!!

[@TheToneWork]

Love the pedal, but love your playing more. Nice chops!

[@taurushamilton2739]

Bro that into jam was 🔥🔥🔥 I got the Riverside w the footswitch for boost. I dig it a lot. I was very impressed w the Sunset 2! Great demo… another case of damn GAS now I think🤦🏾‍♂️🤣👍🏾💣🎸🤘🏾

[@evergleam4674]

helpful explanation thx. ps. it also has an adjustable noise gate and can allow you to use your expression pedal as a volume pedal...

[@organjoe]

Great demo - great personality for doing this IMHO (and nice playing) - thanks!

[@PhilShortGuitarist]

Cheers Bob, greatly appreciated mate! ✊🏻👊🏻

[@LittleRapGuy]

nice

[@geoarthur6593]

Brilliant demo and playing .. subbed (ps, and I'm really hard to please) 👍👍👍

[@matttreacy4068]

great demo, great playing... love the comment that the pedal stomp buttons don't click or stick, and yet the position switcher on the actual guitar literally needs its own tone control

[@elfiemontague3936]

Should do a side by side test with the Fridman & the Friedman demon FX $70

[@mathisto21]

Unreal playing man!!! Wow so good

[@nicosuzi4921]

Great channel, great and complete review , and easily understandable for a non native english speaker ; thanks ! 😀

[@valdon116]

Great review bro

[@i.shadrin]

The only overdrive pedal i will ever need is my ts 808

[@kuyakoi3469]

Hey! Too much! This guy man..

[@marcusstrymon693]

No they dont sound similar, not even close. Completely different gain structure. The sunset depends heavily on a good preamp section after it but has more gain and sounds more vintage. Riverside is just fantastic standalone but even better with broke up iridium. Riversides strongpoimt is lowgain, it is just awesome. my favourite thing to do is low gain riverside into broke up iridium on the chime. then for leadsounds kick on sunset GE and 2 stage in parallel. for clean sounds just roll off the volume on the guitar. AMAZING. Always on pedal. BTW i tried to match riverside and sunset in stereo, one was left and one was right. Impossible. If I came close but then switched cab on iridium, again totally different. STOP COMPARING THEM. And stop. saying the sunset is superior just cause it has more knobs. A sunset on its own can do good but it accells with some drive after it. A riverside standalone... man, awesome. Riverside works fine with just bigsky cabfilter, no iridium. Sunset lacks in that setting and is mediocre. Sunset plus RS plus Bigsky cabsim is great tho. no iridium needed (to iridium makes it even better) I recorded for 2 year only with bigsky cabfiltwr and sunset. Got some nice results. However Riverside and iridium just mad that big of a difference

[@marcusstrymon693]

@Dave Davies 😂😂😂😂 u are right and longrun I would say just get em both and have fun or get the riverside if you only can afford one especially low gain Btw the sunset if you like a lot of different lead tones

[@patrickkem689]

Really nice legato’s going on there brother!

good sound. but tell me through which amplifier you turn it on.

[@PhilShortGuitarist]

It's going into the Hamsteqd Artist 60 👍

[@serz6791]

@@PhilShortGuitarist of course. With such an amplifier, any pedal will sound so fucked up.

[@namegoeshere5898]

play enough pal? leave a little time to review the pedal Lol

[@CamposCaster]

It is possible to turn on one side and when I turn on the other, the first one turns off automatically,,,or act like individual pedals? and another question: this pedal have 250ma consumption...is neccesary to use and indepent power supply?

[@PhilShortGuitarist]

The only way you can get one side to turn off as you turn the other side on is to use a midi controller. There’s no built in “flip flop” mode when using the pedal as is. Regarding the power, it comes with a power supply, or you will need to use a power brick that will facilitate supplying enough ma. I use the gigrig modular power supply as use their timelord adapter to run it on the board

[@spider5001]

Does this pedal have a hidden noise gate

[@PhilShortGuitarist]

I don’t think so no

[@spider5001]

@@PhilShortGuitarist it does. I ordered one Friday so I went to Strymon’s site. It’s a secondary function of side A’s level control. They don’t really say how to access it though lol

Wow awesome playing and the pedal ain't bad either but seriously you have some amazing chops there sir

Great demo. I loved the sound (and the tone of it) you made in the opening. I ordered the pedal and I’m awaiting for it to arrive.

[@ShaighJosephson]

Nope... I found that the Boss OD-200 is actually much better... Check it out for yourselves...

[@Baziell]

Just sold my od-200. Only liked 1setting alot and another one a bit. But it was too complex for my taste so it might just be me that didn't take enough time to go in depth with it.

[@johngannon9954]

if you change the playback speed to 1.5X it actually sounds more like a reviewer speaking normally.

when you think about it, it is really doing the job of 2 pedals and the Strymon sound is unmatched. I paid 479.00 for the Bigsky and it has revolutionized the way I play. Worth every penny.

How does it sound playing actual music?🥱
