The Stockist is an authorized dealer of Aguilar Bass Amplification in India, offering genuine products backed by manufacturer support and expert customer service.

The Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp Pedal is the latest evolution of one of the most respected bass preamps and direct boxes ever created. Trusted by professional bassists worldwide, the Tone Hammer delivers Aguilar’s signature warm, harmonically rich tone in a compact, road-ready pedal designed for stage, studio, and practice applications.

Inspired by classic tube amplifier character, the Tone Hammer Preamp combines exceptional tonal flexibility with intuitive controls, allowing bassists to shape everything from clean, modern articulation to vintage warmth and aggressive overdriven tones. Its powerful 3-band EQ section features dedicated Bass and Treble controls alongside a fully sweepable Midrange control, providing precise tonal sculpting for any bass, amplifier, or performance environment.

A major enhancement to the latest Tone Hammer is its redesigned Drive circuit. Featuring a dedicated Drive control and footswitch, players can seamlessly introduce subtle harmonic saturation, tube-like warmth, focused midrange punch, or full-bodied overdrive while maintaining the instrument’s natural clarity and dynamics.

Designed to excel in both live and recording situations, the Tone Hammer includes a premium-quality balanced DI output with Ground Lift and Pre/Post EQ switching for direct connection to mixers, audio interfaces, and PA systems. The unbalanced output can also drive a power amplifier, making the pedal a complete preamp solution for professional bass rigs.

For practice and content creation, Aguilar has added a Headphone Output and Auxiliary Input, enabling silent practice sessions with the same inspiring tone and responsiveness that players experience on stage.

Powered by an 18V supply for increased headroom and dynamic range, the Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp Pedal delivers professional-grade performance, versatility, and legendary Aguilar tone wherever you play.
