Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp/DI Owner's Manual

The TONE HAMMER Preamp/DI
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 and with more
functionality than a standard DI, the TONE HAMMER is an essential tool for every bassist.
In addition to the warm, organic sound that Aguilar is known for, the TONE HAMMER
provides three bands of EQ with fully sweepable midrange frequencies 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 modifies the gain structure and EQ,
making it easy to go from modern slap sounds to vintage warmth or overdriven tones at
the stomp of a button. 18-volt operation gives plenty of headroom to reproduce the most
dynamic playing styles. With all this and the TONE HAMMER's pristine DI you are ready
to hit the studio or stage.
— 3-band EQ with fully sweepable midrange
— Adaptive Gain Shaping circuitry (AGS)
— DI with selectable pre/post operation
— 18-volt operation via batteries, phantom power or optional power supply
