Pharaoh Amplifiers Announces New Pedal Lineup
 November 13, 2002
Pharaoh Amplifiers has announced two new pedals to their line of handmade stompboxes. The Uptown Fuzz and Sweet Cheetah 2 join the Class-A Boost Pro to round out the Pharaoh Amplifiers line, providing fuzz and distortion effects for the musician.
The new pedals were introduced as a result of customer input and requests, and feature true bypass switching and compact aluminum enclosures for optimum pedalboard compatibility. Standard 2.1mm DC power jacks and high-brightness LEDs are included to make stage use easy for the gigging musician.
The Uptown Fuzz is an adaptation of a fuzz design originally built for pedal steel players. The Uptown Fuzz features:
- Hybrid Germanium / Silicon fuzz circuit ensures temperature stability, low noise, and superior performance with wah pedals.
- Attack control allows the fuzz to be dialed in to match the output level and pick attack of the guitar and player.
- Tone control allows the player to tailor the low- and low-mid frequencies to taste, and makes for easy tone selection with a variety of guitars and amps.
- Heavy-duty construction with sealed aluminum enclosure, custom-made bypass switch, isolated DC power input, Switchcraft jacks and full-sized pots
The Sweet Cheetah 2 is a high-gain distortion device suitable for hard rock and metal players. Its approach uses a special integrated circuit selected especially for its unique distortion properties. The Sweet Cheetah 2 features:
- Low-noise IC construction using a special distortion amplifier and a user-selectable input / output stage. A JRC4558 IC is installed at the factory, but hundreds of other ICs are available - each has its own signature tone.
- High gain design covers the sonic territory between "crunch" and "scream." The Sweet Cheetah 2 also has a high output level and can be dialed in to provide a clean boost.
- Heavy-duty construction with sealed aluminum enclosure, custom-made bypass switch, isolated DC power input, Switchcraft jacks and full-sized pots
