Animal Factory Baron Samedi

Baron Samedi is not your average fuzz pedal — it's a chaotic, characterful distortion device with a mind of its own. Created by Animal Factory Amplification, this fuzz box conjures unpredictable sonic mayhem ranging from brutal fuzz to glitchy gates, sputtering chaos, and even self-oscillating weirdness. It's inspired by the darker corners of sound design and is perfect for those who want to inject raw, expressive, and downright unhinged energy into their signal chain.

Named after the Haitian Loa of the dead, Baron Samedi thrives in the margins between tone and noise. Five uniquely named knobs allow you to sculpt or sabotage your signal:

• Voodoo – The master volume.

• Rum – Controls the gain. Crank it for maximum fuzz carnage.

• Life – A tone control based on an unusual notch filter. Can emphasize mids, boost highs, or dive into deep, howling oscillation.

• Death – Acts like a gating or thinning tool, depending on other settings.

• Burial – Not a high-pass filter per se, but creates grainy, broken textures at extreme settings.

Interdependence between parameters means you often can’t predict exactly what the pedal will do next — but that’s part of the charm. Touch the input cable tip and it screams. Let it self-oscillate and feedback into itself. Baron Samedi isn’t just a fuzz — it’s a ritual.

True bypass footswitch included. Each enclosure features purposeful scratches and wear, part of its dark and twisted aesthetic — no two are quite alike.
