Tone Hammer 210 combo.... Looks nice. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

As others have said, it reminds me of the old SWR Workingman’s stuff, a look I was never a fan of, and this new Aguilar does nothing to change my opinion.

Sounds good in the marketing video (but it would). Love the ‘50s sci-fi lab aesthetic of the DB750, but the ‘70s kitchen styling much less so. I’m assuming class D but haven’t seen confirmation in specs. Agi seems to have moved-on a long way

RE: just marketing and such, I don't know about the Daves etc, but they mention that this is designed for small clubs, churches and pit bands etc, where there's not much space. In churches/pit bands at least the amp never really gets moved, it's more of an install.

I reckon this fits the bill. It's small enough to sneak on some stage noise, the rear connections open up a bunch of options for in-ear monitoring, and having some simple impulse responses available on the DI outputs is actually pretty handy. As an aside their new Octamizer / TLC pedals have some genuinely nifty features too.

The new Ashdown series looks ace but it just has one plain DI out - it's a different thing. It's a shame you can't connect another cab to the Aguilar, but that'd kind of defeat the point anyway. Maybe it's a bit pricey but my experience with my Tone Hammer head is that it's a 'buy well, buy once' thing.

Re: Eco-mode, maybe it's similar to some modern active PA speakers. We use a big HK Audio system with an eco-mode. If it doesn't receive any audio signal for a while, it powers itself down, and automatically turns itself back on as soon as it gets a signal again. This could be pretty handy for the target venues.

Self-confessed Aguilar fan-boi here - own four of their amps, two DI units and a mixture of their pedals. Having cogitated since first becoming aware of this one, the answer has to be no!

[Marvin]

No.

 

It may sound good however, aside the awful aesthetics it looks really awkward to move.

[MichaelDean]

It looks to me to be ideal as a music shop amp. You can sit in front of it with a bass and easily see all of the controls.

Both Aguilar and Darkglass amps have lost something since they were bought by Korg.

Adore the look. Will pass on feature set for the price.
