I have an AG500 dual channel with a gs112 combo which the AGRO is supposed to be based and it rips. I wonder how it translates into a pedal though.

I fully anticipated that either:

A: they would never release the AGRO as a pedal or
B: It would be more like the Tone Hammer with an EQ

but perhaps Ockham's razor has had it's way with the concept and what's left might be better suited for the pedal board.

A nice sounding OD would be, well, nice, but I'll wait for clips before passing judgment.

Just look at my avvy

Also, no word on Aguilar's site yet, and I've only been able to find clips of the preamp so far. I assume NAMM will bring clips?

hopefully it will just sound like the OD in the Agro.

EDIT:also, don't google facial contortion, even with moderate safe search on. lots of ladies but very few contorted faces

Any word on a release date? I bought an Agro and ran it with my Ampeg Classic/810 stack and loved it, but sold it to a friend when I was done with running rack gear. I am going to build a new pedal board and get rid of my PS-45 and for now just run Bass Big Muff, Aguilar AGRO when it comes out, Maxon OD-808 and Korg Pitchblack...cant' wait haha

First Aguilar pedal I have wanted. If it can get me that Stu Brooks type grind, I want one really badly.

I don't need an eq or di though. Plus it's $20 cheaper and smaller as well.

Didn't say you did, I was just stating that I could get close to that tone with my TH. Not trying to knock the Agro pedal its just you were wondering if it could get that tone so in case it couldn't you might want to try to TH.

But but... This ones silver!

Nah, I understand. I haven't really liked the tones that I have heard from the tone hammer, as they all seemed to clean and modern for me, but the distortion side of aguilar stuff has always worn a I want I want gimme gimme spot off on me. I might have to try a tone hammer for myself sometime.
