Front Panel
• A
Toggles between 3 different Drive circuits for the A effect.
Ge - A circuit combining the softer response of Germanium diodes with a parallel path that blends in the dry signal as the Drive is lowered. At higher gains the
lower-mid-range frequencies are emphasized to create a tight, thick response.
texas - A single stage softclipper configuration that is filtered before and after the gain stage to create
a smooth and dynamic overdrive. Perfect for playing the blues or just fattening up your sound with a signature mid-range bump.
treble - A clean boost that removes the low frequencies as the Tone knob is turned up. Great for tightening up an overdriven amp, or driving another gain pedal that’s a bit looser on the low end.
• B
Toggles between 3 different Drive circuits for the B effect.
2stage - The 2stage overdrive combines a softclipping stage followed by a hard-clipping stage, creating a complex overdrive with a wide range of gain. Its EQ structure preserves the
low end while adding some muscle to push your amp. This overdrive can easily take you from lightly clipped to beefy saturation.
hard - A single-stage hardclipping circuit that has a ton of gain on tap, approaching fuzz territory with the Drive knob maxed. At lower gains, mildly clipped transparent tones are achieved.
JFET - A clean boost that subtly beefs up your signal with the dynamics and response of a JFET front end. As you turn up the drive, the signal gets rounded and warmer.

Front Panel (cont.)
• LEVEL
Controls the output volume of each channel.
• DRIVE
Adjusts the amount of gain applied to each channel.
• A (footswitch)
Engages and bypasses the A channel. Red LED on indicates that the effect is engaged. Press and Hold the A footswitch to save a Favorite preset to access with an external Favorite switch. (See page 6 for more info about the Favorite preset.)
• TONE
Adjusts the treble frequencies for each channel. The character and response of the control varies with the circuit type.
• B (footswitch)
Engages and bypasses the B channel. Red LED on indicates that the effect is engaged.

Rear Panel
• BRIGHT switch
Tailors the highest frequencies of the output signal. Try the middle for a balanced sound with most setups. Try minus (-) for a smooth top end. Try plus (+) to cut through with a warm amp/speaker setup.
• CONFIG switch
Selects the effect order for the 2 sides of Sunset. Selecting A+B will place the effects in a parallel signal chain.
• POWER
• IN
Mono instrument input.
• OUT
Mono signal output.
• FAV IN
Connect a MiniSwitch to remotely toggle a Favorite preset. (See page 6 for more info.)
Use an adapter with the following rating: 9VDC center negative. 250mA minimum.
• EXP
Can be used in one of two ways with a standard TRS expression pedal:
Expression Pedal Mode – Allows continuous control over any of the knobs (See page 9 for more info).
Volume Mode – Allows control of the output volume of the effect. (See page 10 for more info).

Noise Gate Threshold
Sunset has a variable-threshold noise gate feature to tame hum and buzz when you’re not playing. A downward expander with advanced signal detection techniques creates a seamless transition to noise gate silence with all types of input signal dynamics, including staccato bursts and slowly sustained notes.

Press and hold the B footswitch until the |
|
A LED blinks. |
Release the B footswitch.
2Turn the LEVEL knob on the A side past the 12 o’clock noon position to engage the noise gate.
The A LED will change from GREEN to AMBER to indicate the noise gate has been engaged. Turning LEVEL past 12 o’clock increases the noise gate threshold for louder and noisier setups. The A LED will change from AMBER to RED to indicate the increased noise gate threshold level.
3Press the B footswitch to store the new noise gate setting to Sunset.
The noise gate setting can be saved independently for both the Favorite and Manual settings of Sunset.
