Summer School Electronics Updates The Gladys With More Bark And More Bite – Guitars For Idiots

guitarsforidiots.com

Summer School Electronics' Gladys V2 Overdrive takes the classic Bluesbreaker-inspired pedal and injects it with a much-needed boost, both in volume and tone. With its new 2-band EQ, the Gladys V2 offers enhanced tone-shaping capabilities, making it a versatile and satisfying addition to any guitarist's arsenal. The pedal retains its soft clipping overdrive but adds a modern, higher gain compressed sound, making it perfect for those seeking both bark and bite. While the original Gladys was notable, the V2’s improvements make it a standout, especially for those looking for user-friendly functions in a transparent overdrive. Mark's attention to detail shines, continuing to cement Summer School's reputation for quality and innovation. Grab it before it's gone, as it’s a pedal you’ll want to play around with endlessly!

Updated Pedal: Summer School Electronics Gladys V2 | Delicious Audio

delicious-audio.com

The Summer School Electronics Gladys V2 Overdrive offers a refined update for tone seekers, expanding its sonic versatility with increased headroom and a broader gain range. This pedal impresses with its two-band active EQ and silent switching, making it suitable for a variety of genres from rock to country. The compression toggle switch provides dual modes, offering both classic and modern drive options. However, while its hand-built quality and lifetime warranty are commendable, the pedal may not significantly stand out from other overdrives in an already crowded market.
