The Summer School Electronics Class Reunion is a double-drive pedal combining two independent overdrive circuits in one enclosure, letting players stack, blend, or use either drive stage independently for layered gain-staging options. Built by the boutique Summer School Electronics, it targets players wanting genuine circuit-stacking flexibility from a single pedal rather than needing two separate overdrives and the board space they require.
The Wampler Brent Mason Hot Wired V2 is a dual-channel overdrive and distortion designed with Nashville session guitarist Brent Mason, spanning subtle overdrive to beefy distortion and thick stacked tones. Channel one is the overdrive side: incredibly smooth, with V2 offering a deeper, warmer and more subtle range than the original while keeping the tight chicken-pickin' clarity Mason is known for. The distortion channel is warm and balanced with a noticeably rounder midrange, lending itself to Eric Johnson-style violin-like lead tones and fluid shredding. A blend control adds dry signal back for definition. Stomping both footswitches stacks the channels for saturated 1980s hard-rock lead voices. Reviewers note the two channels are exceptionally well matched and that it is hard to get a bad sound out of it.
