The Class Reunion combines Summer School Electronics’ take on a 90’s Russian Muff with our 2020’s Trash Panda in parallel with a master volume & blend knobs (SILVER). Each side features its own Drive and Tone knobs as well as Diode Selection toggle.

The silicon setting on the muff side (BLACK KNOBS) is a more standard classic muff sound, while the LED setting creates a darker sound with more low end. The LED setting on the Trash Panda side (GREEN KNOBS) is the classic amp-like overdrive from our Trash Panda, while the silicon setting is a lower output, but provides a crispier fizzier drive. By mixing these diode settings with the blend knob, the user can create so many sonic flavors!

Summer School Half Day Compressor
$164.99 IN STOCK
The Half Day Compressor from Summer School Electronics is a Ross-style compressor that boasts some modern amenities for today’s player. This compressor will level out your playing preventing any volume spikes while playing and raising any notes that are softer than the desired level for a smooth compressed sound. This is especially helpful when playing individual notes from string to string, or fingerpicking. The most notable upgrade is the toggle switch from Guitar to Bass which changes input capacitance. In “Guitar” mode, the lower frequencies are rolled off allowing the compressor to stand out in a band mix. In the “Bass” setting more lower frequencies are allowed to pass through making it ideal for bass, synths, baritone and drop tuned guitars. Other features include a tone control to further dial in the ideal sound based on music genre, and an included boost which allows the played to achieve the “squashed” compressor sound at higher volumes for solos. The Half Day runs on a standard 9-volt, neg. center power supply, and has a lifetime warranty. Hand built in Syracuse, NY by working musicians with attention to detail.

Summer School Science Fair
$164.99 IN STOCK
The Science Fair is a unique overdrive/distortion from Summer School Electronics that allows you to blend 2 classic overdrive flavors into a unique sound. The left side of the pedal, with black knobs, is referred to as the Lab Rat. A hard-clipping crispy distortion. The right side with the green knobs is called the Test Tube soft clipping mid-range overdrive with a mid-hump boost. The 2 sides are run in parallel with individual drive and tone knobs, and the center silver knob column features a master blend and volume.
By completely turning the blend to the left or right the user can use Summer School Electronics’ versions of these classic circuits. But the Science fair really comes alive by turning blending the 2 pedals and adjusting the individual drive and tone knobs. This allows the Science Fair to give aggressive distortion while maintaining the clarity of the notes, or a softer attack with a hint of grit to pop through the mix. The Science Fair allows the user to find their signature sound, while also being a unique pedal that can provide a variety of options in recording and live applications. The Science Fair runs on a standard 9-volt, neg. center power supply, and has a lifetime warranty. Hand built in Syracuse, NY by working musicians with attention to detail.

Summer School Snow Day Delay
$179.99 IN STOCK
The Snow Day Delay is the first time-based effect from Summer School Electronics. Featuring 2 independent PT2399 chips, the Snow Day Delay offers the user 2 independent delay settings that can be set, and rotated between with the onboard footswitch, or run at the same time. With 4 unique delay options between the 2 settings, the Snow Day Delay can be your classic clean digital delay sound, add some unique analog saturation to echoes, or be a percussive wave of both echoes at once.
In standard mode, (toggle switch down) each setting offers up to about 600ms of delay time. These delays are very clear, crisp, and smooth sounding. Having 2 settings allows the user to have song specific delay settings, or allows the user to have different delay times within a song without having to rely on tap tempo. This makes the Snow Delay the perfect “set it and forget it” delay. (Pro tip: leave Delay One time at your preferred go-to delay time, and tweak Delay Two along with the feedback knob to make self-osculation spaceship sounds. Then, you can recall your first delay time with a push of a button without having to reset all the knobs how you had them before.)
An added feature is the Blizzard Mode switch. When in Blizzard Mode (toggle switch up) and the yellow light is on, the Snow Day Delay runs both delay chips at approximately the same delay time, controlled by the Delay 2 knob. This feature will lead to interesting color and saturation within the delays as the echoes begin to clip as they fade, coloring the tone more than the cleaner single delay in standard mode.
When the blue light is on in Blizzard mode, both delay times are activated, but running in parallel at independent times controlled by both delay knobs. This will lead to unique percussive delay patterns, depending on how different the delay knobs are placed, or cavernous echoes of long delays with the added saturation from the overloaded clipped signal. The two blizzard mode settings (both chips in unison, or both chips with separate times) can also be switched between with the tap of the selector button in Blizzard Mode.
The Snow Day Delay runs on 9-volt negative center power supply (not included). The Snow Day Delay comes with a lifetime warranty and is hand-built in Syracuse, NY by working musicians.
