Back-to-Basics Fuzz with Modern Control
The Summer School Electronics Fuzz 101 is a boutique fuzz pedal built for players who love classic fuzz attitude but want more control than a bare-bones vintage circuit can offer. Designed around two BC108 silicon transistors, Fuzz 101 delivers everything from thick, big-sounding distortion to gated, sputtery Velcro-style fuzz.
With a straightforward control layout and a few smart modern updates, this pedal makes it easy to dial in the kind of fuzz that fits your rig, your amp, and your playing style.
Classic Fuzz Feel, Expanded Tone Shaping
Fuzz 101 keeps the essential fuzz formula simple with traditional Volume and Fuzz controls, then adds an external Biasknob for deeper tonal control. The Bias control adjusts the voltage going to the transistors, letting you fine-tune the pedal’s response from smooth and full to starved, ragged, and wonderfully unstable.
Whether you want a ripping lead tone, a thick rhythm fuzz, or a broken-speaker garage rock sound, Fuzz 101 gives you plenty of range without overcomplicating the experience.
Rat-Inspired Tone Control
The Tone knob uses a Rat-inspired tone circuit, giving the Fuzz 101 enough EQ flexibility to either cut through a dense band mix or smooth out sharper high-end bite. That extra tone-shaping range makes it a practical fuzz pedal for modern players who need more than one sound from their board.
