Animal Factory Amplification Baron Samedi Quick Start Manual

Congratulations! You are now the
proud human to an Animal Factory
Amplification Baron Samedi
pedal.
The Baron Samedi is a celebration of fuzz
textures and weirdness with sounds so chewy,
you can bite into them. We're committed to
building pedals that sound unique, and the
Baron is no exception.
The Baron Samedi is a very strange fuzz
pedal. To learn about its intricacies, have a
quick read through this very short manual to
familiarize yourself with the controls...
The vast quantities of rum consumed during
the development of this idiosyncratic fuzz
pedal have paid off well. Steeped in voodoo
mystique, playful and chaotic, obscene and
disruptive all at once, the Baron will oversee
the life and death of your sound. Be prepared
to spend time exploring this pedal's possibili-
ties.
The AFA Baron Samedi Fuzz pays homage to
the legendary Jordan Bosstone, but sounds
nothing like one. Additional gain and a very
strange tone control add aggression, fullness
and bite to the sound. The interactivity of the
top three knobs make this a raucous device
that yields an entire variety of sounds, from a
great vintage fuzz tone to synthier sounds with
faux-portamento decay.
Guaranteed to summon harmonics from
other worlds, the AFA Baron Samedi encapsu-
lates the vulgarity, the madness and sheer joy
of the electric guitar. Whether you're playing
fuzz
mellower brass sounds on a jazz solo from
hell, gated faux-bass single-note riffs or
all-out scooped mid riffs, this pedal will take
every note to the afterlife and back.
Did we just say guitar? For those unafraid to
experiment and stand out, the Baron is a
devastating effect, live or in the studio, to use
on drum machines, synthesizers and bass
guitar too.
Hand-built with pride in Bombay, India.
SAFETY & TIPS
We attempt to build safe products.
Here are some further cautions you should
exercise while using them.
1. Do not vex Baron Samedi.
2. Do not attempt to eat Baron Samedi.
3. Operate with a standard pedal power
supply (not included) - Boss style negative
center, 2.1mm, 9V DC.
4. Your cat may take offence to the sounds
made by Baron Samedi. This is normal. If you
do not have a cat, please adopt a cat (unless,
of course, you are allergic ).
5. The Baron Samedi enclosure is diecast
aluminium, hand-polished to a mirror finish,
then anodized black and laser-etched. Unlike
sheet aluminium, diecast aluminium contains
more silicon which can result in "swirling" or
"clouding" when anodized. Unique
irregularities and lines in the finish are
unavoidable, and part of the hand-made
process. Of course, we could have just
painted the lot and slapped a decal or screen
print on, but where's the fun in that?
6. Keeping the environment in mind, Animal
Factory Amplification products never have
provisions for the use of 9V batteries. Please
use a power adapter.
