Best value: Poor
DI box / prampli transistors, simple, robust appearance and is trs trs heavy.

Connectivity is basic, no frills: In jack, DC in, switch prpost, DI, switch ground / lift and jack out. In 99.9% of situations, it is more than enough! Level knob was a gain, treble / bass and mdiums Settings, and two master switches "Calls" and "AGS" for the passage in bypass mode and method pramp saturation / distortion.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is quite comfortable because this box is the anti-thse of EBS MicrobassII SANSAMP and BDI. It really just what you need to shape its sound. In terms of rglages is effective and prcis (Aguilar what ...) In fact they have understood in AGUILAR, their Tone Hammer is simple to configure: the coup they have many less invested in a clear and legible hand, they prfr A4 sheet cut in half with two top three entries ... Obviously many in English

SOUNDS

The sound is versatile Aguilar, dlivre deep bass and clear treble without being aggressive. It is ideal in my WW complment ltd2006 thumb which he brings this sound a little typical amricains. But the finding is more mixed on my Spector NS JH5, it even goes with being a pramp Aguilar (OBP-1), the Tone Hammer can not find a place (except channel distortion).

The clean sound is the spitting image AGUILAR deep, clear and powerful.

The Distortion channel is that of happiness: a lot less wind than most pramps, more the quality of sound is really appointment.

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, it's a product that clearly dmarque competition. I have two other possd pramp / Sun before that the SANSAMP the BDI is well when to play on a stagg you amplify with Berhinger, BSE MB2 that sounds great at all times with a connectivity ultra complete but a little expensive with the breath of the channel distortion. The Aguilar would rather like BSE in terms of sound grain typical brand and does not distort the sound as a SANSAMP BDI ...

Put simply, happy with my purchase!
