General

The Aguilar Agro Pedal Bass Overdrive is modelled after the Aguilar AG 500's popular Saturation channel. It is designed specifically to give bass guitar players a wide, flexible tonal range. This circuit allows you to add rich harmonic distortion to your sound - while preserving the full, round tone of your bass guitar - whether you apply a warm, vintage-style edge or screaming full-blown overdrive. The Agro Pedal can be linked to your bass guitar amp, as part of your FX loop, or even as a preamp when it's connected to a power amp directly.

The versatile sound of Aguilar's Agro Pedal

With only four easy-to-control knobs, the Agro gives you a plethora of distorted sounds. The Saturation knob conjures a wide range of distortion while you set a scooped sound or rather a more aggressive midrange with the Contour knob. Additionally, the Presence knob lets you add just the right amount of attack to your sound so that your bass guitar's definition is still maintained - even at top distortion. Last but not least, there's the Level knob that guarantees you have the desired distortion at any volume level.

Renewed, smaller housing

Aguilar downsized their pedals by removing their protruding edges (see the video), allowing you to use any size angled jack plug. What's more, thanks to its new flat bottom it is now easier than ever before to mount the pedal to your pedalboard.

Doet wat ie moet doen. Als "clean boost" of " boost met een klein randje" is ie niet zo geschikt. Dat maakt dit pedaal niet heel veelzijdig. Dus 4 van de 5 sterren.

Tof distortion pedal met een typisch Aguilar tone-kleur.
Het pedaal heeft dat typische aguilar "gewaxde" sound, niet glashelder maar milder, of zelf creamy te noemen. De sound is zeker niet modderig!
De contour is rond 900hz, en er is een presence om beetje laage hoog bij te draaien.

Het pedaal is dynamisch reactief: zacht en hard spelen is duidelijk te horen in hoe de Agro reageert.

Wat ik wel erg jammer vind is dat het pedaal effectief als low-pass filter werkt:
De High frequency roll off begint op ~4kHz en is 0db at ~6kHz. Dit resulteert in wat "gesloter"/Donkerde sound.

Superbe OD !

La finesse de réglage de la saturation permet d'aller très progressivement d'un son à peine sale à une grosse disto très propre.

Le son reste très naturel, le rendu du son de la basse est nickel.

Les potards de médium/aigues font leur job et même si j'aurai aimé avoir la possiblité de bypasser l'eq de la pédale, on arrive assez facilement à retrouver la même eq qu'en clean.

Pour les adeptes de la pile, il faudra prévoir le tournevis avec la pile de secours.
