“Smoking in the Boys Room” distortion and chorus pedal

Syracuse, NY / Peterborough, ON – Dec. 18th 2025 – “Smoking in the Boys Room” is a collaborative two-in-one distortion and chorus pedal created by Summer School Electronics and Supercool Pedals – A cross-border team-up that delivers unmistakably 90’s grunge tones with a refreshed modern bite and artful design.

Smoking In The Boys Room artfully fuses a Summer School Electronics DS-1-inspired distortion – complete with classic buzzsaw edge and a modernized mid-range snarl – with Supercool Pedals’ organic and watery Small Clone-style analog chorus. This tribute to the legendary Seattle Grunge pioneers Nirvana is unmistakable and loving, summoning classic tones but delivering original spins on sound and circuit to bring this iconic sound into the 21st century.

Smashed into a single thoughtfully designed enclosure (with art that is SATURATED with deep 90’s and Nirvana lore), each effect can be run independently or simultaneously for a classic cacophony of flannelled saturation, with an all-important external order switch to determine the effect chain sequence.
