Aguilar AG-112C

This is the combo version of the head and cabinet GS112C AG500.
Power 250W/8ohms 500W/4ohms and complementary with HP. HP 12 "+ tweeter adjustable. U.S. Manufacturing careful: Carpet, handles, especially the housing (made of mahogany 7-ply Aguilar tells us ...).
Side-mail: mine is the AG500SC-112C, with a single clear channel. The AG500-112C his older brother has more saturated channel. Otherwise similar characteristics.
Front: Adjustable input level, 4-band EQ, a boost treble boost + 1 serious effects loop used in series or Parallel 2-button push-pull output direct-line switch with pre / post EQ, stand- by order by footswich with option (handy to change the bass on stage)

UTILIZATION

Question setting, what more on a good combo? The boost serious, very effective, is truly the most giving the scale in the bass and makes you believe that you have behind you a 15. "If the grave is very well rendered. The treble boost brings the brilliance that sets the texture of your bass and tweeter, even if it is pushed, is never aggressive or metal. The effects loop can be used in series or Parallel lets you mix sound pre-amp with effects (I used with a micro-EBS bass). Maybe we would find a compression, it is even necessary? With 250W of power in solo configuration, it does not feel ridiculous on stage. and not taken in medium devoid of scenes.

SOUNDS

This is an amp to sound clear and precise without Collor, I would say quite analytical and transparent but not cold, which restores the first sound of your bass. The major boost provides roundness and depth, amazing for a 12 "and a combo of this size. The power of 250W giving comfortable use and without saturation by pushing a little volume knob. I also use it well with my passive jazz bass 4 string with the string Neuser Cloudburst 5, group the sound of the bass is very present here, the serious and well defined further raised, punchy wish.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for a year, I play soul, funk, jazz, for me this amp suits all situations, I find it very versatile. There are an exellent combo with this compromise between compactness and efficient power. The sound is amazing for a combo of this size. I was looking for a portable combos and quality, I do not regret my investment. Because yes it is breaking the bank ...
