Model Overview
Digging a little deeper, you’ll see that the Aguilar Tone Hammer 700 V2 is far from being “just another amp” — it’s the result of careful work by engineers and musicians who know exactly what today’s bass players need.
At its heart lies the legendary Tone Hammer preamp, celebrated for its musicality and flexibility. It delivers that classic valve-style warmth yet adds the clarity and transparency that modern sounds demand.
The standout feature is Aguilar’s unique Adaptive Gain Shaping circuit, which lets you shape the attack and overall character of your tone. This is invaluable for those looking to strike a balance between aggressive rock punch and smooth jazz depth. It feels as though the amp responds to your touch — just a twist of a knob and the tone comes alive, shifting naturally to match your playing style.
And then there’s the sheer power — 700 watts of output in a remarkably lightweight chassis. You won’t have to worry about volume, no matter the size of the stage. Despite its strength, it’s lighter than many mid-sized combos, making it an ideal companion for life on the road.
Also worth highlighting is the three-band EQ with a variable midrange control. This isn’t your standard tone-shaping tool — you can dial in extra presence in the mids, smooth out unwanted sharpness, or push the lows for added depth. It’s all about sculpting your sound, not trying to squeeze into preset limitations.
Who is this model for?
What makes the Aguilar Tone Hammer 700 V2 so impressive is how comfortable it feels in the hands of players at any level. If you’re just starting out and searching for your sound, this amp will help you hear your bass in a new way and discover your style faster. It’s straightforward to use, and the results are always inspiring. For self-taught players or those practising at home, it’s a perfect all-rounder — great for training, with the confidence that it will also deliver flawlessly at rehearsals or on a small stage.
For professionals, its precision and punch are what really stand out. Session players will love its portability and the assurance of consistent, uncompromised sound in any situation. Composers and producers can rely on it as a dependable studio tool capable of delivering clean, dynamic bass recordings. And sound engineers will appreciate the rear DI out, which sends signal straight to the mixing desk without sacrificing tonal integrity.
