Description

The Gus Drive by Summer School Electronics is a high gain hard clipping overdrive pedal designed to make your amp sing and howl. With its modern take on the DOD250/MXR Distortion+ circuitry, this distortion pedal stands out for its simplicity and versatility. The Summer School Electronics Gus Drive features two intuitive knobs: Bark (volume) and Howl (gain), allowing easy manipulation for a wide range of tones, from subtle sweetening to full on distortion.

A unique feature of the Summer School Electronics Gus Drive is its ability to roll off low frequencies as the gain increases, ensuring your guitar cuts through in any band setting. The Summer School Electronics Gus Drive excels in maintaining great clarity and body, never sounding too thin, even on single coils. Whether used with tube amps like the Vox AC15 or amp/cab sims, the Summer School Electronics Gus Drive performs impressively.

The Summer School Electronics Gus Drive is perfect for those seeking a flexible distortion pedal that won't colour the guitar's unique tone. It can be used as a subtle boost for solos or as a stand alone distortion pedal, delivering an amp like distortion without unwanted compression or muddiness. The Summer School Electronics Gus Drive’s rugged and durable enclosure, coupled with top mounted jacks, makes it pedalboard friendly and reliable for gigging musicians.

The graphic is of Summer School Electronics owner's dog.  Mark enjoyed creating pedals of his dog, which made him smile during gigs as he looked down at his board to see his beloved pet.

In summary, the Summer School Electronics Gus Drive is a well built, versatile distortion pedal that is easy to use and delivers outstanding performance. It's an excellent addition to any guitarist's rig, offering a crisp and clear gain stage that suits a variety of playing styles.
