General

This preamp/DI box by Aguilar is so powerful, it's a surprise its name isn't the Tone Sledgehammer. This pedal was designed to be more than just a preamp and to carry more functions than a conventional direct box. In addition to the warm, organic sound Aguilar is known for, the Tone Hammer is equipped with a three-band EQ modelled after the OBP-3 preamp and so featuring adjustable mid frequencies for maximum tonal diversity. The separate gain and master controls allow you to set the right gain structure for any bass guitar. Aguilar's Tone Hammer really hits the nail on the head for bass players.

Aguilar Tone Hammer: Adaptive Gain Shaping (AGS)

To really beat down the competition, Aguilar fitted this tone-pounding pedal with their patented Adaptive Gain Shaping circuit (AGS). AGS enables bass players to add another gain structure and EQ to the overall sound with a single stomp on the button. You can now go from a modern slap sound to vintage warmth or distortion. Thanks to its 18-volt operation, the Tone Hammer has more than enough headroom for even the most dynamic playing styles. All of the aforementioned functions combined with the Tone Hammer's unrivalled DI functionality, means that you are ready for any stage or studio.

New, 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.

Wrote the following about Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp & DI Box
uitstekende DI en pre-amp. Ik gebruik hem als EQ voor mijn Trickfish amp. De parametrische EQ is waar ik zo van hou. Hij klinkt erg VET! Ideaal om een kwaliteits amp aan te sturen

Uitstekende pre-amp van Aguilar. Ik gebruik hem zelf als DI en tevens als EQ voor mijn basversterker. De Mid Freq knop in combinatie met de Mid Level vind ik een gouden combi en laat je echt de toon "shapen". Dit zouden alle basversterkers standaard moeten hebben.
