Balls X Hambouz Charity Fuzz Pedal
Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2024 10:21 am
Hi all...I generally stick to the tech room and dont post much in this sub, but want to expand this effort out to a bigger audience.
I'll be building a limited fuzz pedal as a collaborative effort between myself and Michael Hambouz; a friend, neighbor and multi-talented artist. The aim of the project is to provide charitable, humanitarian aid to the people of Palestine. The name Zaytone is taken from the Arabic word “Zaytoun”, meaning olive, an ultimate symbol of peace. $120 from every pedal sale will be split evenly between two charities:
- The Delia Arts Foundation | Providing refuge to displaced local artists and their families while actively preserving the Palestinian cultural heritage.
- MAP (Medical Aid for Palestine) | Providing immediate medical aid to those in great need, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system.
The Zaytone circuit is firmly rooted in the Arbiter Fuzz King / Sola Sound Supa Tonebender lineage. The units will be in a pedalboard-friendly format with standard LED and 9V external power source, as well as onboard battery.
Ordering is live through June 14th. Full details, tech specs, and ordering information available here: https://ballseffects.com/special/zaytone/
