Summer School Electronics Stone Thrower Fuzz

Today’s featured pedal not only looks and sounds rad, but has a great story behind it as well. The Summer School Electronics Stone Thrower Fuzz is a 2-transistor silicon unit that offers a range of tones, from subtle breakup to full-on aggressive fuzz. Let’s get the backstory on this green beast from Summer School themselves:

“In 1925 in Syracuse, NY’s predominantly Irish neighborhood, Tipperary Hill, a group of young men of Irish descent began throwing stones at the local traffic light to knock out the Red glass that represented Britain’s rule over Ireland. As the broken red glass was replaced by the city, the Stone-throwers as they had become known, continued to break the new red glass. This continued until the City of Syracuse put in a one-of-a-kind traffic signal that features the green on top. This fixture has existed there for almost 100 years and continues to be a symbol of the city, as well as a point of neighborhood pride.”

The Stone Thrower Fuzz represents the raw aggression of rebellious youths, while also paying homage to Syracuse’s history. With the Volume and Fuzz knobs maxed, the player can roll back the volume on the guitar to explore a subtle more sensitive breakup. For best results, the Stone Thrower should be run first in the chain without a buffer before it. It requires a 9-volt power supply with a negative center, and comes with a lifetime warranty as well.

Two knobs. A ton of fuzz. A slice of history. The Stone Thrower has it all, in an easy-to-use, pedalboard-friendly format. Plus, it has some rad LEDs that light up your dreary pedalboard when the effect is engaged, and who doesn’t love that? Cheers to Summer School Electronics for another simplistic yet adventurous effect – we’ve got more on the way from them, so stay tuned.
