Parallel 90s Russian Big Muff + Trash Panda overdrive with independent diode selection. Blend the two circuits.

The Class Reunion represents Summer School Electronics' approach to high-gain versatility by combining their take on 90s Russian Big Muff circuit with proprietary Trash Panda overdrive circuit in parallel, blendable configuration. This pedal features independent Drive and Tone controls for each side (black knobs for Muff side, green knobs for Trash Panda side), plus master Volume and Blend controls in center silver knob column. Additionally, each side has its own toggle switch for diode selection, fundamentally altering clipping characteristics and overall voice of that circuit.

90s Russian Muff side (black knobs) delivers thick, saturated fuzz tones that Big Muff circuits are famous for, with massive sustain and rich harmonic content perfect for heavy rock, doom, stoner rock, and shoegaze. Diode toggle on this side offers two distinct flavors: silicon setting provides more standard, classic Muff sound with familiar mid-scooped character and aggressive edge, while LED setting creates darker sound with enhanced low-end response, perfect for heavier, more crushing tones or for maintaining clarity when using extended-range or baritone guitars.

Trash Panda side (green knobs) offers Summer School Electronics' signature amp-like overdrive character, providing more focused midrange presence than Muff side and excellent touch-sensitivity for dynamic players. Diode toggle on Trash Panda side also offers two options: LED setting delivers classic amp-like overdrive tone with smooth compression and singing sustain, while silicon setting provides lower output but adds crispier, fizzier drive character ideal for punk, garage rock, and aggressive playing styles. Parallel architecture and Blend control allow enormous tonal flexibility. Transparent true bypass maintains original tone integrity with noise-free signal path, while top-mounted jacks maximize pedalboard space. Hand-built in Syracuse, NY, runs on standard 9-volt negative center power supplies, backed by lifetime warranty. Priced at $179.99.
