FX Pedal Planet is pleased to share news of a fresh collaboration from two respected independent builders, with Summer School Electronics and Supercool Pedals joining forces to release a new effects pedal called Smoking In The Boys Room. This release brings together two distinct design voices and adds another characterful option for guitarists and bassists who enjoy pedals with a strong personality and a clear musical purpose.

Summer School Electronics has built a reputation for thoughtfully designed effects that focus on feel, tone and usability, appealing to players who want inspiring sounds without unnecessary complexity. Supercool Pedals is known for creative circuits and a playful but serious approach to effects design, often exploring textures and tones that sit slightly outside the mainstream while remaining practical for real-world playing. This collaboration reflects a shared interest in pedals that are expressive, reliable and enjoyable to use over long sessions, whether at home, in rehearsal or on stage.

The Smoking In The Boys Room pedal combines the sensibilities of both builders into a compact effects unit designed to deliver a distinctive drive character with plenty of nuance. Aimed at players who appreciate touch sensitivity and tonal flexibility, the pedal is intended to respond well to picking dynamics and volume control changes, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles. Rather than chasing extremes, the design focuses on usable tones that sit well in a mix, making it a practical choice for working musicians as well as collectors of boutique effects pedals.

Congratulations to Summer School Electronics and Supercool Pedals on the launch of Smoking In The Boys Room. Bringing a collaborative pedal to market is no small task, and it is always encouraging to see independent builders working together to create something new for the pedal community.

We would also like to thank Summer School Electronics and Supercool Pedals for partnering with FX Pedal Planet as UK dealers. We value the trust placed in us to represent independent brands and make their work accessible to players across the UK.

The Smoking In The Boys Room pedal is available now at FX Pedal Planet Online Store, with full product details and ordering available through our website. We invite you to watch the video below to hear the pedal in action and get a better sense of how it responds in a musical setting.

Finally, we encourage you to support FX Pedal Planet Online Store, Summer School Electronics and Supercool Pedals on social media.
