New Aguilar AG 700!

New Aguilar AG 700! Coming April 2017.

I dig it, but...

a) where is the second channel???

b) I wanted a two channel, 700-800W Tone Hammer. I mean, yeah, its cool they are bringing back the AG and all, but I reeeeeeeeeeally wanted a two channel, more powerful Tone Hammer head.

Other than my two petty complaints, it looks and sounds pretty cool.

An Aguilar Legend... Reimagined

 

[redhed]

I want one! I loved my AG 500, wish I never sold it.

Be prepared for yet another TH 500 blow out sale in the classifieds...

I take it you have noted all that extra real estate on the front panel just waiting for the 2nd channel?

That will be the AG700+.

 

[FingerDub]

Doesnt look rack mountable to me. Likely dealbreaker.

Looks like an updated version of a TH500. What's so different about it? #Notbuyingthehype

 

[rufus.K]

What different:
4 band eq, like the AG not the TH.
bright and deep switches.

Still have my AG500SC - don't use it anymore, although it sounded fine when I did. If it had come out before the D-800(+), I might have been tempted, but by then I had already bought the M6 and that started me down a path...

 

[monsterthompson]

interesting.

 

[svtb15]

What are they using for the Class D Module? An update of the old 500 model or something different?

 

[redhed]

The 2 channel AG 500 was pretty cool. Who knows they might offer one in the future! maybe in boss brown...

About a month ago I emailed Aguilar requesting an 800 or 1000 watt Tone Hammer. They responded to the effect that there were no plans to release a higher powered Tone Hammer at this time but to keep my eyes open for other exciting product announcements. I guess this is it. I will have to try one! If they reissue the 2 - channel version that will be even better.

Looks cool. The EQ is more traditional than the TH. AG500s sound great, will be interesting to see how this compares.

 

[MoonQuake]

Very underwhelming IMO.

It'll probably please the die hard Aguilar fans looking for a cleaner sounding and more powerful TH500. But at a street price of 849$, as stated by Premier Guitar, the Subway D-800 and the new Trickfish Bullhead .5K are more appealing.

 

[pickles]

It is strange that this isnt a db659 or 751 pre with burly class D power. I would figure they'd sell a ton of those.

 

[5StringPocket]

Agreed.

The AG500 is one of my favorite amps. I had a TH500 as well and preferred the AG500 greatly over the TH.

This new one is only 4 pounds.

I like the second channel on my AG bc even if you back off the gain on the dirt channel, the tone is different from the clean channel - its like having two amps.

I can definitely see them coming out with a dual channel AG700. Funny thing though - not a huge difference between 500 watts and 700 watts, volume wise. Not complaining, and understand they wanted to set the AG up-market from the TH line, hence the higher wattage.

I've either sold or stored all my other amps - only playing my AG500 these days. Great tone every time I plug in.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
