The 1312 began its life as a physical embodiment of one of Black Mass Electronic’s fundamental beliefs: Black Lives Matter. It also provided an actionable avenue for us to demonstrate our support monetarily. This new iteration of the 1312 embodies another important sentiment: Trans Rights are Human Rights. 50% of the profits from these pedals will be split between several organizations whose causes we support - No More Dysphoria, Transgender Emergency Fund, Asian American Resource Workshop, Black & Pink - Boston, and Solidarity North Shore.
2020 proved repeatedly that words on their own are not enough, and it is long past time to use our resources to support the oppressed and disenfranchised.
Black Lives Matter.
Trans Rights are Human Rights.
If you disagree, our pedals are not for you.

Sold out, of course :( not that I can justify the pricetag
you can easily find one on the used marketplace though. try searching reverb.com or asking around in {hated alien site}/letstradepedals or the collector / emitter discord server.
$200 is a lot for an overdrive, though, artistic/political appeal aside.
I agree it's a lot of money, but that's a normal price for this kinda pedal from a small builder these days unfortunately, shit sucks
