Summer School Electronics Spring Break Reverb Pedal

The Summer School Electronics Spring Break Reverb is a compact, spring-style ambience machine with a twist. At its heart is a lush one-knob reverb, but flick the Delay switch and a dedicated delay circuit kicks in that only affects the reverb tails. Your dry pick attack stays crisp and articulate while a wash of echoing springs blooms behind every note, from subtle depth through to self-oscillating, droning soundscapes.

Designed and hand-built by a working musician and school teacher in Syracuse, NY, the Spring Break Reverb is made to be both inspiring and practical. Use it as a simple, always-on reverb to bring life to a dry amp, or dive into the interactive Mix, Delay and Feedback controls to create cinematic swells, ambient pads and experimental textures. Whether you are writing your next song, building a pedalboard around a clean platform amp or exploring more left-field tones, this pedal gives you a unique, musical way to add space without losing clarity.

With the delay section disengaged, Spring Break behaves like a classic spring reverb pedal with plenty of depth on tap, from a light room-like airiness to deep surfy splash. Engage the delay and you unlock up to 600 ms of echo that only touches the reverb tail, leaving your core tone intact while the ambience stretches, repeats and, if you want it to, spirals into self-oscillation. It is an ideal way to keep your sound focused in a band mix while still enjoying huge, expressive ambience under your playing.

Every Spring Break Reverb ships with a pair of sunglasses while stocks last, underlining the laid-back, holiday vibe at the heart of this design. It is a fun, creative tool that invites you to step away from the day job, plug in and get lost in the sound of endlessly decaying springs.

Spring-Style Reverb with a Simple Core Control Set

At its core, the Spring Break Reverb delivers a familiar spring-style ambience controlled by a single knob when the delay is off. This makes it incredibly quick to dial in: set your preferred level of verb and play. From subtle space that makes clean chords feel more three-dimensional to deep, splashy surf tones, it covers a wide range without overwhelming you with options.

Delay Only on the Tails

The clever part of the design is the dedicated delay circuit that only affects the reverb tails. Your initial pick attack remains dry and defined, while the reverb trails echo and repeat behind it. This keeps your playing articulate and punchy, even at high ambience settings, and lets you enjoy expansive, atmospheric sounds without your core tone turning to mush.

Creative Control with Mix, Delay and Feedback

Once the Delay switch is engaged, the Mix, Delay and Feedback controls become active, offering up to 600 ms of delay time on the tails. You can blend in just a hint of echo for extra depth, or push the delay time and feedback for long, evolving trails and self-oscillating drones. This makes the Spring Break a powerful writing tool, ideal for ambient intros, interludes and experimental passages that respond dynamically to your playing.
