Aguilar Tone Hammer Bass Preamp / Direct Box Pedal
Product
Information:
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 introduce
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.
