Aguilar TONE HAMMER Owner's Manual

TONE HAMMER Preamp/D.I. Pedal
Congratulations on your purchase of the preamp/direct box so powerful it
could only be called the Tone Hammer! Designed to be more than just a
"preamp in a pedal" and with more functionality than a standard D.I., the
Tone Hammer is an essential tool for every bassist's arsenal.
Starting with the warm, organic sound that Aguilar is known for, the Tone
Hammer adds fully sweepable midrange frequencies in addition to treble
and bass controls for maximum tonal sculpting. Separate Gain and
Master controls allow you to dial in just the right gain structure for any
instrument.
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 curve with the "stomp" of a
button. You can now easily go from modern slap sounds to vintage warmth
or overdriven tones. The Tone Hammer has plenty of headroom due to its 18 volt operation
and will reproduce the most dynamic playing styles. With the Tone
Hammer's pristine D.I. you are set to hit the studio or the stage.
