Description

The Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus is an overdrive pedal built with bass players and low end lovers in mind, offering rich, driven tones without sacrificing clarity or bottom end presence. Based on the popular Gus-Drive circuit, the Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus adds a clean blend control, making it equally at home with guitar, bass, or any instrument where retaining note definition and low frequency content is essential.

Sonically, the Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus delivers a warm, saturated drive that cuts through without becoming harsh or muddy. It brings in the right amount of grit and character while keeping the original signal's weight and depth intact. Whether pushing an amp into breakup or adding texture to cleaner tones, it provides a satisfying edge that’s both powerful and articulate.

Playing the Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus feels responsive and natural, giving players room to express dynamics without fighting the circuit. It's the kind of pedal that becomes second nature quickly, one that invites experimentation, rewards subtlety, and brings a genuine sense of connection between instrument and tone.

With just three controls – Volume, Blend, and Drive – the Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus keeps things straightforward while offering plenty of tonal flexibility. The Drive knob takes you from a gentle growl to a more aggressive roar. The Volume lets you shape output without unwanted jumps or dips, and the Blend control is where it really shines, letting players dial in just the right amount of clean signal to keep things punchy and grounded.

The heart of the Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus is a circuit designed to support low frequencies without swallowing them. It builds on the Gus-Drive's foundation, tuned specifically to avoid that all too common low end loss that bass players dread. Whether running solo or as part of a more complex signal chain, it holds its own with clarity and muscle.

Housed in a sturdy all metal enclosure, the Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus is built to withstand the rigours of regular gigging and life on the pedalboard. It’s compact, solid, and finished with a graphic that’s as bold and reliable as the sound itself, easy to read, easy to use, and a great visual fit for any setup.

The LED indicator gives clear feedback at a glance, so there’s no guessing whether the pedal is active mid set or mid session. The bypass circuit keeps your tone uncoloured when disengaged, maintaining signal integrity whether you’re playing clean or dirty. With sensibly placed jacks and a standard 9V centre negative power input, it slots easily into any board without awkward cable runs or power complications.

The Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus comes with a lifetime warranty, offering peace of mind and confidence that it’ll keep performing, gig after gig.

In short, the Summer School Electronics Gus-Plus is a no nonsense drive pedal with plenty of character, designed to give bass players and drop tuned guitarists the punch, clarity, and versatility they need. Simple to use, hard to beat, and always ready to play.
