The Summer School Electronics’ Middle School reinterprets 80’s modulation with combined chorus/vibrato in one compact pedal.
Crafted in Syracuse, NY by educator and musician Mark Turley, Summer School Electronics brings a distinctive classroom-inspired approach to pedal design. Founded during the 2020 shutdown, the company has quickly earned recognition for blending playful aesthetics with professional-grade sound processing.
The hand-built unit, appropriately sporting a cartoonish illustration of a high school choir, toggles between effects via the right footswitch: when the blue light illuminates, the pedal operates in chorus mode with dedicated Rate and Depth controls for dialing in everything from subtle shimmer to pronounced modulation. Engaging the green light activates vibrato mode, where the dry signal disappears for pure pitch-oscillating effects. The shared Depth control sets modulation intensity between both effects.
Built with standard 9V power, status LED, and lifetime warranty, this $199.99 unit delivers both vintage jangle and modern textures.
