Aguilar Tone Hammer Bass Preamp Direct Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was searching for a preamp to power a new bass rig straight into a Crown PSA 2 back from the day. WOW, it gives me sweepable mid filter, awesome bass, awesome silky highs and a 2nd fuzz sound. Built like a tank. Powered with the ac adaptor and it is quiet as a whistle. A pre/post di out and ground lift switch built in. I have it up high on a music stand next to the music for a horn band I am in. No bending over and I can tailor the sounds on the fly, try that on the floor. My secret weapon to an old school custom rig that blows the doors off of most cabs I play in music retailers. I power a 15" sub with a mccauley subwoofer and a 15" celestion bass for full range. This rig now rocks. Time to buy the Aguilar TLC compressor. Buy with assurance that this thing rocks! Listen to the samples on the website and you'll be surprised. Bye Bye midi.....

This preamp/direct box is so strong and powerful it could only be called the "Tone Hammer"! Based on the respected OBP-3 preamp, the Tone Hammer features fully sweepable midrange frequencies in addition to bass and treble controls. With the Tone Hammer's pristine D.I. you are set for the studio or the stage.To give this tone shaping unit the ultimate flexibility we are introducing our proprietary Adaptive Gain Shaping circuitry (AGS). AGS allows the player to kick in an additional gain structure and EQ with the "stomp" of a button. You can now go from modern slap sounds to vintage or overdriven.18 volt operation gives the Tone Hammer plenty of headroom to reproduce the most dynamic playing style. Separate "Gain" and "Master" controls allow you to dial in just the right gain structure for any instrument. The Tone Hammer is the essential preamp/direct box for every bassist's tool box.Specs:Pre/Post DIUnbalanced output can drive a power ampAGS circuitryCut and boost of treble, mid and bass frequenciesFully sweepable midrange frequenciesPowered by two nine volt batteries, phantom power or optional universal power supplyGround lift switchHeavy Duty steel constructionInputs: One 1/4" jackOutputs: One 1/4" jack, One XLR (nominal output - 14 dBu balanced)EQ:Bass +/- 18 dB @ 40 HzMid +/- 17 dB @ 180 Hz to 1 kHzTreble +/- 18 dB @ 4 kHzControls:Ground lift switchPre/Post DI switchEngage switchAGS switchWarranty: Three year limitedOptional: Aguilar Tone Hammer Universal 18 volt power supply
