The Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 V2 is designed to deliver professional-grade tone in a remarkably compact and lightweight format. Weighing just 4.2 lbs, it’s easy to carry from home to rehearsal to stage, yet it packs a serious punch with 500 watts of Class D power. This makes it ideal if you're craving a big tone without the bulk, offering enough headroom to handle large venues while remaining small enough to fit in a backpack. If you're running a single cab or pushing multiple enclosures, the Tone Hammer 500 V2’s output ensures clarity and punch across the frequency range, keeping your bass sitting right where it should in the mix.
What sets the Tone Hammer 500 V2 apart is its ability to capture the richness and warmth typically associated with tube amplifiers. At the heart of its tonal character is Aguilar’s solid-state preamp and AGS (adaptive gain shaping) Drive control. This proprietary circuit adds subtle, musical distortion that enhances midrange punch and harmonic content, letting your bass sound round and expressive without losing clarity. Combined with the intuitive 3-band EQ, which includes a fully sweepable midrange, you can sculpt your tone with precision—dial in smooth vintage warmth or crank up a more aggressive modern bite. It’s a flexible sound engine that rewards dynamic playing and expressive performance.
The Tone Hammer 500 V2 goes beyond traditional amp heads with expanded connectivity designed, giving your playing a modern edge. Featuring dual XLR outputs, you can send a pre-EQ signal to the front of house while using a post-EQ or cab-simulated feed for your own monitoring rig—keeping both your sound engineer and your ears happy. The inclusion of Aguilar’s Cabinet Suite software allows you to load custom or Aguilar-designed IRs (impulse responses) directly into the amp, offering cabinet emulation through the XLR or headphone output. This provides studio-quality tone without the need for mics or outboard gear, streamlining your rig for live sets and recording.
Alongside its stage and studio prowess, the Tone Hammer 500 V2 also excels as a practice companion. With an Aux input and headphone output with blend control, you can play along with backing tracks and fine-tune the mix between your bass and the source audio. This makes silent rehearsal both practical and enjoyable, whether you're jamming at home or warming up backstage. Thanks to its universal mains power supply, you won’t have to worry about voltage compatibility when travelling internationally. It even supports a 2.67-ohm load, allowing for more flexible cabinet pairings. From daily practice to international tours, the Tone Hammer 500 V2 delivers premium tone and smart usability whenever you need.
