The Gladys V2 overdrive by Summer School Electronics builds upon the legacy of the original Gladys, delivering a versatile low/mid gain overdrive designed for guitarists who demand tonal flexibility and dynamic response. Its updated circuit introduces increased headroom, more gain, a 2 band active EQ, and silent switching, making it a perfect choice for genres ranging from rock and blues to country.
At the heart of the Summer School Electronics Gladys V2 are four intuitive controls, Volume, Drive, Treble, and Bass, paired with a toggle switch that unlocks two distinct tonal profiles. In the up position, the pedal offers a hard clipping boost/drive reminiscent of classic breaker circuits, providing low headroom and a subtle, warm drive. Flip the switch down, and the Gladys V2 transforms into a more modern sounding overdrive, delivering increased volume, higher headroom, and a sharper, more defined edge.
The pedal’s sonic character is both rich and dynamic, with a smooth frequency response that maintains clarity and definition at all settings. Its wide gain range allows for everything from gentle boosts to more aggressive, crunchy textures. Whether used as a standalone drive or as part of a larger signal chain, the Summer School Electronics Gladys V2 ensures your tone cuts through the mix with confidence and style.
Playing through the Summer School Electronics Gladys V2 feels intuitive and responsive, with a natural dynamic range that reacts beautifully to picking nuances and guitar volume adjustments. The internal bright switch adds further customisation, letting players fine tune the gain structure for smoother, low gain tones. This thoughtful design ensures the Summer School Electronics Gladys V2 integrates seamlessly into any rig while inspiring creative expression.
Housed in a rugged aluminium enclosure, the Summer School Electronics Gladys V2 is built for the rigours of live and studio use. Its custom powder coated finish and clear knob layout make it as visually appealing as it is functional. The true bypass preserves your signal integrity when the pedal is disengaged, while the LED indicator provides clear feedback on power and status.
Powered by a standard 9 volt centre negative supply for exceptional headroom and sustain. With premium components, the Gladys V2 delivers authentic tone and reliability that players can depend on.
Hand built in Syracuse, NY, the Summer School Electronics Gladys V2 is an indispensable addition to any guitarist’s setup.
