Description

The Summer School Electronics Extra Credit is a versatile dual boost pedal, offering two distinct circuits in one compact enclosure. Flick the toggle switch to the left, and it becomes a straightforward, op amp boost with just one volume knob. Switch to the right, and it transforms into a transistor based boost, activating the Brightness control to inject extra top end sparkle and grit. Perfect for adding body to solos, giving your overdrive a bit more bite, or even serving as an always on preamp, the Extra Credit adapts to various playing situations with ease.

In terms of sound, the left side op amp boost is reminiscent of classic DOD 250 style circuitry, delivering warm, rich gain and lighter drive tones. On the right, the Bootster Boost circuitry offers a punchier, more mid and high end focused boost, ideal for cutting through the mix or bringing life to a thinner clean sound. Whether you’re after subtle gain or added brightness, the Summer School Electronics Extra Credit ensures your tone stands out with purpose.

Playability is intuitive and smooth. The two controls, Volume and Brightness (in Bootster mode), are simple yet effective, allowing players to quickly dial in the exact sound they need. The compact design and well thought out layout make it a breeze to fit into any pedalboard setup without taking up too much space.

The pedal’s all analog circuitry ensures a warm, organic sound, while the hand built construction reflects a commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Constructed in Syracuse, NY by musicians, the Extra Credit features a sturdy all metal enclosure designed to handle the rigours of both the stage and the studio.

Visually, the Summer School Electronics Extra Credit stands out with its bold, eye catching design. It’s available in two striking finishes: the standard yellow with black knobs and a red LED.

A bright, easy to see LED indicator lets you know when the pedal is active, and true bypass switching ensures your signal remains unaffected when the pedal is off. Powered by a standard 9V negative centre power supply, this pedal integrates effortlessly into most pedalboard setups. With top mounted jacks, it’s also pedalboard friendly, making it easy to chain with your other effects.

Summer School Electronics stands behind their work, offering a lifetime warranty on the Extra Credit. This is a reliable, no nonsense boost pedal that combines excellent sound quality, robust construction, and versatile features, making it an essential addition to any guitarist’s setup.

In summary, the Summer School Electronics Extra Credit offers two unique boost sounds in a simple, easy to use format. With its op amp and transistor based boosts, it delivers a perfect balance of gain and brightness, whether you’re shaping your tone in a live setting or adding subtle enhancements in the studio. Durable, hand built, and backed by a lifetime warranty, the Summer School Electronics Extra Credit proves that this is no ordinary boost pedal, it's a smart and reliable choice for any guitarist looking to enhance their sound.
