Aguilar Tone Hammer 700 V2 Lightweight Bass Head

Full Description

Tube-inspired tone shaping

At the core of the Aguilar Tone Hammer 700 V2 is its harmonically rich tone, inspired by the warmth and responsiveness of vintage tube amps. This solid-state preamp uses Aguilar’s proprietary AGS (Adaptive Gain Shaping) circuit to introduce natural compression and subtle overdrive, delivering a dynamic playing experience that responds to your touch. You can dial in clean and articulate lows or gritty, mid-heavy punch to suit your tone preferences. The AGS circuit gives your sound genuine depth and musicality, bridging the gap between modern clarity and old-school warmth.

Flexible EQ with drive control

The Tone Hammer 700 V2 is built for precision tone shaping, offering a 3-band EQ that includes a sweepable midrange control – a key feature that lets you zero in on specific frequencies to fine-tune your tone for any genre or playing style. You can adjust the bass, mid, and treble bands with generous cut and boost ranges, ensuring clarity and balance across all techniques, from fingerstyle to slap. The Drive control adds another layer of tonal character, using the AGS circuit to deliver smooth distortion and enhanced midrange bite. This makes the amp equally at home in clean studio environments and gritty live performances, giving you full tonal command.

Cabinet emulation and dual XLR outputs

Perfect for both stage and studio use, the Tone Hammer 700 V2 features dual XLR outputs and advanced cabinet emulation through the Aguilar Cabinet Suite. You can load Aguilar’s own SL/DB cabinet IRs or upload your own custom IR files, shaping your sound through the XLR or headphone out. One XLR can send a cab-simulated signal to your monitors, while the second sends a clean, pre-EQ signal to the front of house – a setup that keeps both your sound engineer and your stage mix dialled in. This versatility ensures your tone remains consistent and controlled in any live or recording setup without relying on external cab mics or modellers.

Compact, portable, and road-ready

Weighing just 2.57 kg and measuring only 12.5" wide, the Tone Hammer 700 V2 is built for bassists who need a powerful amp head without the bulk. It delivers up to 700 watts at 2.67 or 4 ohms, giving you the strength to power large cabinets or multi-cab setups with ease. Universal mains make it ready for international travel without extra gear, while features like a series effects loop with 6 dB gain, aux input, headphone output, and tuner out make it a versatile companion for practice, rehearsal, and gigs. It’s a high-output machine that’s ready for the road.
