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

1. Кубат туташуу: 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 voltagэ жана учурдагы талаптар.
2. Киргизүү байланышы: Гитараңызды же башка аспапты туташтырыңыз IN арткы панелдеги уячаны стандарттуу 1/4 дюймдук аспап кабели менен туташтырыңыз.
3. Чыгуу туташуу: туташтыруу OUT jack on the rear panel to your ampкөтөргүчтү же сигнал чынжырыңыздагы кийинки педалды стандарттуу 1/4 дюймдук аспап кабелин колдонуп басыңыз.
4. Кошумча туташуулар:
   • Экспрессия педалы (EXP): For real-time control over parameters, connect an expression pedal to the EXP джек.
   • Favorite Switch (FAV): Connect an external favorite switch to the FAV jack to recall a saved preset.

Алдыңкы панелдин башкаруу элементтери

• 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.
    • Техас: Mid-focused, bluesy overdrive with a distinct character.
    • Үч кабат: 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 Сtage: A classic two-stage soft-clipping overdrive.
    • Катуу: A harder clipping overdrive with increased compression and sustain.
    • JFET: A JFET-based circuit offering a more amp-like, natural overdrive.
• Бут өчүргүчтөр:
  • A Footswitch: Engages or bypasses Channel A. The corresponding LED indicates its status.
  • B Footswitch: Engages or bypasses Channel B. The corresponding LED indicates its status.

Арткы панелдеги которгучтар

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

Техникалык тейлөө

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

• Тазалоо: 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.
• Сактагыч: Педальды салкын, кургак жерде, күндүн түз нурунан, өтө жогорку температурадан жана жогорку нымдуулуктан алыс сактаңыз.
• Электр камсыздоо: 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.
• Байланыштары: Бардык кабелдердин туташууларынын эскиргендигин жана бузулгандыгын мезгил-мезгили менен текшерип туруңуз. Домкраттар чаң жана таштандылардан тазалангандыгын текшериңиз.
