Model overview
The moment you pick up this amp head, you know it’s been designed for musicians who want to take charge of their sound. The Aguilar AG 500 V2 is a solid-state bass amplifier head capable of delivering 500 watts of continuous power. That’s exactly the amount you need to cut through pounding drums and thick guitar riffs with ease.
Its EQ section is remarkably powerful, giving you precise control over your tone – from crystal-clear definition to rich, driving punch. The amp features two fully independent channels: a clean one and an overdriven one. This makes it easy to experiment and switch tones instantly during a performance: keep one channel clear and dynamic while letting the other bring in gritty drive when the moment calls for it.
Build quality is another strong point. Inside, a carefully engineered design with dependable components ensures long-lasting performance, while the rugged exterior is ready to withstand the demands of travel and touring. Even with its power, it remains fairly lightweight for its class, making it practical for regular use. Many players note how well it pairs with almost any cabinet, always maintaining a tight, authoritative sound.
In the studio, the AG 500 V2 also shines. It runs quietly, free from unwanted noise or hum, meaning each note comes through just the way you intended. You’ll be able to record your bass lines directly with a full, expressive tone, without needing extensive extra processing.
Who is it for?
Despite its impressive wattage, the Aguilar AG 500 V2 isn’t limited to professional stages. Its straightforward layout makes it accessible to those just starting out, without overwhelming them with unnecessary features.
Self-taught players will find it a great tool for home practice, while hobbyists playing with friends will appreciate how powerful it sounds at rehearsals. For session musicians and producers, its flexibility is invaluable – it works just as well in a studio as it does on stage.
For professionals, it offers complete confidence in their tone. You’ll be able to craft your own distinctive sound signature that sets you apart, all while trusting the amp to deliver consistently, whether in a high-stakes live show or a recording session.
