Excellent microamp

TrEr 21.02.2015

To be honest I'm more of a vintage tube amp guy but I wanted to see what these new micro amps are capable of. The Tone Hammer seemed like a perfect choice as reports from various web forums are great and describe it as having a "tubey" sound. I not so sure I agree with that last bit. Perhaps the SOUND is kinda tubey but the RESPONSE certainly isn't. Still, it is one of the nicest solid state amps I've tried. Not as sterile sounding as some other solid state designs, definitely on the warm side. Very versatile with lots of controls to shape the tone. Personally I prefer a simpler layout but I guess it's nice to have options. The eq is very powerful. The relationship between the gain and drive settings can also be used to shape the tone/response of the amp. Unlike many other solid state amps it actually seems to have a "sweetspot" (which I'm sure will differ with personal preferences).

The output volume is impressive for such a small amp. I would compare it to 100-150w tube amps. I've been using it for rehearsals with a progrock band (loud drummer, Marshall 50w Plexi, Hammond/Leslie) and it worked great. Gigs in small/medium clubs would be no problem.

This amp will probably not be the first choice for tube enthusiasts but it's excellent as a backup amp or for situations where portability is an issue. It will easily fit into the front pocket of a gigbag. Fans of solid state amps will probably love it, unless they are into a very clinical "hifi" sound.

Great amp for the price!

Great amp... But only for some

StephenJ 11.10.2014

Really light small amp, fits in front of a gig bag with no probs! Love the tone of this, but some may find the treble eq control set a little bit too low in the frequency range... If you have an active bass it's a problem you may be able to counter by using your on board pre for a better slap sound. I took a star off the features because it has no headphone out or line in... Built in USA by people who love bass and it shows!

A dream amp for 99% of the bass players out there!

I was in the market for a small amp after owning a few (Gallien MB200, ATS LBA500, Ashdown Little Giant 1000, Markbass LittleMark II and a few others). It's the first Aguilar product I own and I must say it's up to expectations... looks well built and look, feel and sound are just high-end.
It's not an amp full of features like compression, tone-shaping extras like contour or whatsoever - it's more a simple device for the gigging bassist.
I like it... my only gripe (and it's very personal and only due to my taste) is that the high frequency control isn't set on the right frequency and isn't very powerful (or at least, not powerful enough to make the amp bright like some more "hi-fi" competitors). The mid controls is nice and the drive is very useable. Certainly worth the price. I'm not regretting taking the 350 against the 500, it's certainly loud enough for most situations (if not for all of them) and I like the low weight and small dimensions. Would I buy it again? Yep. MAYBE if I had to swap it for something I'd like to try the SWR Headlite, just 'cause I like bright tones but I wouldn't go back to chinese made amps like the MB200 - small but crappy in both tone and sound.

Fantástico

Guzmán 25.03.2013

El Tone Hammer 350 ha satisfecho todas mis expectativas para este tipo de cabezal. Lo uso junto con una pantalla Hartke HyDrive 4x10 todo ello enchufado a mi Chapman Stick y suena todo estupendo. El problema que tenía con otros amplificadores era que, en el caso del stick y dada la naturaleza del instrumento, perdía mucha definición y claridad. Sin embargo, con este cabezal todas las líneas que hago, ya sean rápidas o lentas, suenan perfectamente definidas. En cuanto a la potencia, lo he usado en algunos conciertos (en salas cerradas y de aforo no superior a 200-300 personas) y, de momento, no se me ha quedado corto. En resumen, es un producto muy bien construido, con la gran ventaja de pesar sólo alrededor de 1 Kg y con un sonido estupendo. Altamente recomendable.
