The new lineup from Aguilar is designed to deliver superior tone, modern performance, and reliable build quality.
Aguilar has announced three new products aimed at modern bassists: the Tone Hammer 210 Combo, TLC Compressor EQ DLX, and Octamizer DLX. Each brings studio-quality performance with the kind of road-ready reliability that gigging players need.
Catch up on all the latest news here.
Tone Hammer 210 Combo amp
Built around Aguilar’s Tone Hammer V2 amplifier, this combo delivers 300 watts through a focused 2×10″ vertical cabinet configuration—no extension cab required. That vertical alignment isn’t just for looks either; it provides improved on-stage clarity and a tight, punchy response that cuts through without getting lost in the low-end mud.
The Tone Hammer sound carries that warm, rich, tube-inspired character Aguilar is known for: warm lows, rich mids, and a smooth top end that sits perfectly in the mix. Dual XLR outputs with the Aguilar Cabinet Suite make it equally at home feeding FOH, in-ear monitors, stage wedges, or studio sessions. Just plug in and play—simple as that.
Arriving late February, the Tone Hammer 210 packs serious capability into a portable package that won’t destroy your back while loading in.
TLC Compressor EQ DLX pedal
Building on the trusted foundation of Aguilar’s original TLC Compressor, the DLX version expands the feature set considerably. Powered by the same advanced in-house DSP platform as the Octamizer DLX, it offers independent compression and EQ controls with broadband boost bass and treble shaping.
Extended functionality includes attack, ratio, release, and blend controls, giving you everything from subtle dynamic smoothing to bold, punchy compression. LED gain reduction meters provide visual feedback so you always know exactly what the pedal is doing to your signal. Whether you’re evening out fingerstyle dynamics or adding aggressive punch to slap techniques, the controls are there to dial it in precisely.
Octamizer DLX pedal
The next generation of Aguilar’s flagship octave pedal has been rebuilt from the ground up on a new in-house DSP platform. Improved tracking, clarity, and reliability are the foundation, but the DLX expands the sonic palette with octave up capability—delivering natural tone with minimal latency—alongside a retro, synth-inspired filter mode.
Aguilar’s proprietary advanced tracking algorithm ensures the pedal follows your playing accurately, whilst preserving those original Octamizer tones that made it a favourite in the first place. The new Mode function opens up synth-inspired octave sounds for players looking to explore beyond traditional bass territory.
Both deluxe pedals arrive next week, available to order now. Head here for local enquiries.
