Description

The Summer School Electronics School Lunch is a compact multi effect pedal that gives guitarists and bass players four essential effects in one unit: fuzz, distortion, delay and boost. It’s ideal for players who want to save space on their pedalboard without sacrificing tone or versatility. Designed to cover multiple genres, it delivers the key sounds any rig needs without hauling an entire board. According to the maker, it “hits all the must have sounds for multiple genres” in a “small footprint.”

The Summer School Electronics School Lunch’s sound palette ranges from vintage style fuzz to modern high gain drive, rhythmic and ambient delay textures, and a clean or gritty boost. The fuzz section uses a 2 transistor circuit with BC108 transistors and offers volume, fuzz and bias controls, giving a player flexibility to dial in anything from classic gated fuzz to sputtery, wild textures. The distortion section features the “Trash Panda” circuit, a high gain all purpose distortion with volume, drive and tone controls. This delivers more drive than the fuzz, with rich harmonic content and responsiveness to your playing dynamics. The delay circuit is a simplified version of the brand’s Snow Day Delay, offering mix, delay (time) and repeat controls to adjust volume of echoes, length of delay and number of repeats respectively. Finally the boost section is based on the Extra Credit transistor boost circuit, governed by a single knob, making it quick and intuitive to switch to a volume or gain lift for solos or heavier sections.

Playing through the Summer School Electronics School Lunch brings a joyful versatility. Switching between effects or stacking them allows a player to move from chimey, buzzy fuzz chords that ring with personality, to saturated, aggressive distortion for riffs or solos, then into delays that fill out rhythm or ambient space. The compact nature of the unit means that for travel, rehearsals or gigs where minimal gear is preferred, the Summer School Electronics School Lunch will cover a wide sonic ground.

Users will quickly notice how responsive the fuzz and distortion circuits are to pick attack, guitar volume, and amp settings. The bias control on the fuzz lets them shape the character of the fuzz in real time, so they can dial in vintage leaning gated tones or more expressive, sputtery fuzz. The Trash Panda distortion’s drive and tone controls respond well to variations in playing, so there’s a live, organic feel rather than a static pre set distortion. When using delay, the mix, time and repeats provide immediate access to everything from slap back echoes to long, swelling repeats without over complication. The boost is simple but highly effective and instantly accessible, making it useful in live settings when switching between sections or boosting solos.

Controls and EQ across the functions are clearly laid out: each effect block has its dedicated control set (as described above), which makes it easy to dial in a sound that works for your guitar, amp and playing style. For example, if you use single coil pickups and find the fuzz too harsh, the bias control plus tone shaping from your amp and guitar volume will help you tame it. The distortion’s tone control sweeps broadly so you can roll off piercing highs or tighten up low end. The delay section’s time control gives you rhythmically useful settings, and its mix knob lets you balance between ambience and clarity of your dry signal. The boost knob keeps things simple, you won’t spend time fussing when you need extra clean volume or a little dirt with dynamics.

Under the hood, the circuits that power each effect are rooted in analogue design. The fuzz’s 2 transistor configuration and use of BC108 transistors give it a character that players recognise and respond to. The Trash Panda distortion circuit has earned respect from players for achieving a rich, sustaining distortion without losing note clarity or depth typical of fuzz/overdrive hybrids. The delay circuit draws from Summer School’s Snow Day Delay design, pared down to deliver solid, musical repeats without over complexity. The boost circuitry similarly builds on established transistor boost designs from the brand’s Extra Credit boost pedal.

The enclosure is solid and built for real road use. It sits in a tough metal case, giving confidence that the pedal will withstand regular use, rehearsals, travel and live shows. The layout is designed to be practical for pedalboard integration so that players combining multiple pedals can slot the Summer School Electronics School Lunch in without issues. Graphics and labelling are clear and functional, helping players navigate the different effect blocks immediately, which is especially useful under low light conditions or during quick changes on stage.

An LED power/engage indicator is included to show when the effect is active, this helps in live environments so there’s no confusion over whether the pedal is switched on or off. According to the manufacturer’s listing, input and output routing and power requirements make the unit friendly to standard pedalboards, and the fact it runs from a single standard 9 V negative centre supply simplifies setup.

The Summer School Electronics School Lunch is a smart investment for guitarists and bass players who want multiple core effects without sacrificing tone, flexibility or board space. Whether you're rehearsing at home, recording, flying to a gig, or heading out for a small club show, the Summer School Electronics School Lunch will deliver. It brings together vintage style fuzz, versatile distortion, rich delay echoes and a reliable boost in one box, making it ideal for players who demand value and quality in their rig.
