We love discovering new, up-and-coming effects pedal builders here at Pedal of the Day, and we’ve got another for you today. Summer School Electronics has a three-pedal lineup so far, and we’re going to check them all out over the coming weeks, starting with the Gladys Overdrive. This three-knob, one-switch beauty is a no-frills overdrive unit, with one added option to set it apart from the rest. Let’s what what she’s got in store for us…
The Gladys is the second release from Summer School Electronics. This little lady is a low/mid gain transparent overdrive. Perfect for blues, country, rock and everything in between. This pedal features 3 knobs: Volume, Drive and Tone, as well as a switch for added compression. With the toggle in the Up position, the Gladys functions as soft-clipping boost/drive. When the switch is Down, compression is added, focusing the bite of the pedal and sounding crisper and more direct. Gladys runs on a standard 9-volt, neg. center power supply as well.
Hand built in Syracuse, NY, by working musicians with attention to detail, the Summer School Electronics Gladys Overdrive is always a good girl for any rig. Easy to dial in, a perfect starting spot in any pedalboard and ready to go right out of the box, Gladys is a welcome start to the effects being created by Summer School Electronics. Be sure to check out their website for more pedals and info, and you’ll want to here her in action in our demo video below as well. Stay tuned for more SSE pedals right here very soon…cheers!
