Summer School Electronics Class Reunion combines 90’s Russian Muff with 2020’s Trash Panda for a versatile drive pedal.
Each side features its own Drive and Tone knobs as well as Diode Selection toggle. (BLACK KNOBS= 90’S MUFF, GREEN KNOBS = TRASH PANDA) By tweaking the parameters, the user can open a world of tones which makes The Class Reunion a versatile drive, as well as a Riff-Writing-Machine.
The silicon setting on the muff side (BLACK KNOBS) is a more standard classic muff sound, while the LED setting creates a darker sound with more low-end. The LED setting on the Trash Panda side(GREEN KNOBS) is the classic amp-like overdrive from our Trash Panda, while the silicon setting is a lower output, but provides a crispier fizzier drive. By mixing these diode settings with the blend knob, the user can create so many sonic flavors, making this a reliable pedal for studio or live performance, as well as an addicting pedal to play at home and explore new tones and ideas.
Each pedal offers the following features:
- Independent Drive, Tone and Diode selection for each side of the circuit
- Master Volume and Blend controls
- Hand Built in Syracuse, NY
- Lifetime Warranty
- 9-volt operation and standard DC input
The Class Reunion is available at Summer School Electronics dealers, at a street price of $179.99.

The A. incorrupta Overdrive/Distortion features independent Bass, Midrange, and Treble controls to allow for intricate tone sculpting and finetuning, specially designed to provide broad sweeps without becoming overly harsh or muddy.
Moth Electric has released its second design since setting up shop in May 2023, the A. incorrupta Overdrive/Distortion. The A. incorrupta is Moth Electric’s highly tweakable take on the classic RAT circuit, with significant modifications and additions to improve fidelity, versatility, and usability.
Adding to the versatility of the A. incorrupta circuit are five clipping options for an array of sonic textures:
- Germanium for a smooth, compressed character
- Mosfet for a slightly softer feel than Silicon-Silicon for classic RAT sounds
- Asymmetrical for aggressive, heavily textured tones
- LED for less compression and higher output
A boosted, high headroom output section rounds out the pedal, offering tons of volume on tap while maintaining clarity and note separation.
The A. incorrupta offers the following features:
- Bass, Treble, Mid, Volume, and Drive controls
- Five-way diode switch with Germanium, MOSFET, Silicon, Asymmetrical, and LED options
- Boosted, high headroom output section
- True-bypass switching, top-mounted jacks for easy placement on crowded pedalboards
- 9-volt DC operation with external power supply – no battery compartment
- Designed and hand-built in the USA
The A. incorrupta carries a $169.99 price.

A Masterclass in Distortion! Moth Electric A. Icorrupta
A contemporary, pedal-sized take on vintage, tremolo-equipped tube amplifiers, the Lighthouse deliversauthentic edge-of-breakup, overdriven amp tones, and selectable Harmonic or Bias tremolo.
Adding to their line of boutique guitar pedals, Bennett Custom Audio introduces the Lighthouse Amplitude Modulating Amplifier. A contemporary, pedal-sized take on vintage, tremolo-equipped tube amplifiers, the Lighthouse deliversauthentic edge-of-breakup, overdriven amp tones, and selectable Harmonic or Bias tremolo.
With two dual-function footswitches, the Lighthouse allows you to ramp up and down the tremolo effect, with tap tempo capability for setting the effect’s speed. The pedal implements BCA’s new proprietary high-voltage internal power circuitry – delivering massive headroom, low noise, and consistent performance.
The Lighthouse represents a new design philosophy for BCA, as founder Mark Bennett pushes to capture vintage, sought-after tones by combining modern technology with classic design techniques.
Notable Lighthouse features include:
- All-analog signal path, featuring a discrete pre-amp w/gain control and high-headroom output stage
- Two tremolo modes: Harmonic & Bias – selectable with a two-position toggle switch – with each having a separate, individually-tuned signal path to best capture the sound of their respective style of tremolo
- Analog controls for Gain, Presence, Volume, Wet/Dry Mix, and Tilt EQ. The Tilt EQ acts only on the wet signal, allowing for interesting tonal contrasts between the dry and wet signals
- Digitally controlled LFO with standard rate & intensity controls, tap tempo w/ multipliers, and momentary rate ramping activated via the footswitches
- 3 LFO waveforms selectable via a dedicated 3-position toggle switch: Square, Sine, and Sawtooth. In bias mode, the square wave activates “chop” mode, where the intensity controls the wave’s duty cycle (on and off time) rather than the depth
- Proprietary high-voltage internal power circuitry: Powered by any 9-24VDC external power supply, it internally delivers a clean 30VDC split-rail voltage to the audio circuitry for consistent, reliable performance
- Relay-based true bypass switching, top-mounted jacks
- Bi-color indicator LED that pulses with the LFO, giving a visual indicator of the LFO’s settings
Each Lighthouse is proudly hand-assembled in St. John’s, NL, Canada using high-quality, globally sourcedcomponents. MSRP is $379 CAD (approx. $275 USD), available exclusively through our website.
