Born in the heart of New York City and battle-tested on stages worldwide, the Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp has earned its reputation as an essential tool for discerning bassists. This sleek, lightweight preamp packs the legendary TH circuitry into a modern design that pairs perfectly with the Aguilar Tone Hammer 500/700 V2 amplifiers. The updated unit now features a convenient Headphone Out, Aux In for practice sessions, and a newly engineered Drive control with footswitch capability.
The Tone Hammer’s sonic versatility spans from crisp modern slap tones to vintage warmth and gritty overdrive, covering every territory a bassist might explore. Its fully sweepable midrange frequencies work alongside bass and treble controls to provide precise tonal shaping, while the pristine D.I. ensures superior sound quality in both stage and studio environments. The expanded Drive circuit offers an increased gain range with dedicated control, allowing players to fine-tune their sound alongside the main Gain knob.
Powered by 18 volts for ample headroom, this preamp/direct box combines inspiring tone with ultimate versatility. The addition of Headphone Out and Aux In makes it an ideal practice companion for musicians on the road or jamming at home, cementing its status as a must-have piece of gear for serious bassists.
