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.
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. (BLACK KNOBS = 90’S MUFF, GREEN KNOBS = TRASH PANDA) By tweaking the parameters, the user can open a world of tones which makes The Class Reunion a versatile drive,as well as a Riff-Writing-Machine. 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!
The Middle School Chorus is the first modulation effect from Summer School Electronics. This analog bucket-brigade chorus provides warm tones that can achieve the watery warble that players love. The second footswitch changes the Middle School Chorus to vibrato mode and and operates with a separate LFO and and Rate control. These independent controls allow the pedal to function as 2 separate effects (Chorus and Vibrato) that can be changed with the tap of a foot, and each modulate at their own rate, while sharing a depth control. This saves pedal board space and power jacks.
The Middle School Chorus is made in Syracuse, NY by working musicians, and operates on a 9-volt, negative center power supply.

Where to find our pedals.
