Aguilar’s Tone Hammer Preamp V2 builds upon the uncompromising studio-grade sound and versatile tone-shaping power of its predecessor, packing the punch of a Tone Hammer amplifier into stompbox form.

This preamp pedal sports an elevated 3-band EQ that grants superior midrange control with its dedicated Mid Frequency and Mid Level knobs. Bassists after a heavier sound will be enthralled by the Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp V2’s proprietary Drive circuit — a feature that injects your signal with a healthy dose of tube-style saturation. While this preamp pedal’s XLR out, ground-lift switch, and Pre/Post switch make it a natural choice for stage performances, the V2 iteration also features a practice-friendly headphone output and a dedicated headphone mix control for added versatility. 

A worthy successor to the V1, the Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp V2 is a veritable rig in a box that’s equally at home rocking the stage, recording direct in the studio, or woodshedding your next showpiece.
