Aguilar Amplification announced on October 29, 2024 two additions to its Tone Hammer family: the amPlug3 Tone Hammer and a reworked Tone Hammer Preamp pedal12.
The amPlug3 Tone Hammer is a portable headphone amplifier that Aguilar describes as inspired by the Tone Hammer sound12. It has dual Clean and Drive modes, onboard reverb, chorus and compression, a built-in rhythm feature, and AUX connectivity for playing along with tracks12. A TRRS cable allows recording to a phone or laptop12. Its US list price is $59.9912.
The revised Tone Hammer Preamp pedal keeps the original design and adds an expanded gain range with a separate drive control, which Aguilar says lets players refine overdriven and clean tones independently12. It also gains a headphone output and an auxiliary input, and moves to a smaller enclosure that Aguilar says has a modern aesthetic matching the Tone Hammer amplifier series12. Its US list price is $299.9912.
