Aguilar Tone Hammer 350

[Deleted member 5551]

I'm interested in this.

I'm in the market for a lighter weight/higher quality setup within the next 4-6 months.

It is!

And, I have a feeling that this little 350w head has about the same amount of power as other brands' 500w micro heads. After all it has the same module as for example Shuttle 6 and GK MB500.

fwiw iirc these same power modules are used in the Fender Rumble 350/150 heads...

Sorry, not true about the Rumble 150. It uses a much less powerful ICE module, the ASX 50. I don't know what is in the Rumble 350, so of course I can't comment on that. Shout out to Jay Piccirillo and Fender Bass Amps for using continuous ratings on the Rumble 150.

As was noted earlier, we use the same power modules for the Tone Hammer 350 that are used in some other amps that are rated higher by methods other than continuous power measurements as required by the FTC.

Hope this is helpful.

ooops my bad

I recall reading that the 350 used the same PM as the GB shuttles and made an incorrect assumption...

I know I would love to get my hands on the TH350.....perfect power for what I do these days....on a couple 12s....

I know they're available for pre-order, but when I can I really get one?

Now. Mine shipped last week from Florida. Delivery scheduled for Wednesday 3/14.

I concur that a nice light combo would be awesome. Though the concommital requirement for neo drivers would put the price up into a grand plus I'm sure.

I really like the idea of this head... I'm just a little concerned about clean head room. I don't push loud volumes but I need good clean, distortion free, tone. I'm on the fence...

Played through one at Bass Club Chicago on Saturday. Tried the GS 112, DB 410 and SL 410 cabs. I thought it was great and will be budgeting for one asap.

 

[Limeman]

Wow... they have an SL410 cab??? Might need to make a phone call!!!!

 

[darius8]

If this was posted already forgive me. I just thought this was worth a post. The TH350 is demo'd around half way in the vid.

NAMM '12 - Aguilar Tone Hammer 350 and AG 4J 70 Demos - YouTube

Dave's a real trooper

 

[Calaverasgrande]

I saw the SL410 cabs announced back when the SL112 and TH500 were announced. Haven't seen a whisker since. Are they going into production? Sign me up if they are. My back will thank me.

The new TH350 might be just the ticket for this beginner on a budget. I'm currently learning and playing on an ancient Fender Rumble 100. I swear I'm the 3rd or 4th owner of this thing.

I don't see the SL410 cabs on [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] only the SL112s.

I'm not sure I could afford the SL series anyway.

UPS delivered the TH 350 today - a day earlier than the original tracking info. I had time to plug it in for just a few minutes in my basement equipment room, so I can just give a first impression. My first impression is WOW. Going through my Thunderchild 112 with the amp set at 10 o'clock on the both the gain and master controls, the house was shaking, and I could tell that the amp will provide more than enough volume - and headroom - for my loudest gigs. Didn't have time to tweak tone controls much, but what I heard sounded creamy with a lot of heft. This is my first Aguilar amp, so I can't compare it to other Aguilar models, I can just say I liked what I heard.

 

[jnammy]

david, was your 112 an 8 or 4 ohm cab? i'm interested in this head too, but will most likely be using with one of my 8 ohm cabs.

 

[saltymonkey]

The Thunderchilds are 4 ohm cabs.

You're right, I don't see it listed on the main cabinet page. But if you manually tweak the url it shows up...

Bass San Diego has an SL410.

You could always get a nice used GS series to go with your new TH. They pop up from time to time.
