Aguilar announced the DB316 Mid EQ Micro Pedal, a compact midrange equalizer for bass, and the pedal reached availability on 1/23/2025 at a MAP of $99.9912. Both Bass Magazine and Bass Musician Magazine carried the announcement on January 26, 202512.
The DB316 is a midrange EQ pedal that Aguilar says is inspired by the preamp of its Tone Hammer Series12. The company describes it as a compact solution for shaping midrange tone, aimed at basses with two-band preamps and passive instruments12. It is housed in a micro-sized enclosure, and Aguilar says it can serve as an "always-on" EQ or provide a quick switch to a secondary tone profile for different playing styles12.
The announcement did not list the pedal's controls, frequency points or other technical specifications12.
Jordan Cortese, Brand Manager at Aguilar, said in the announcement:
"We designed the DB316 for bassists who wants simple and flexible midrange control without taking up valuable pedalboard space."
The pedal is listed at a MAP of $99.99, with availability given as 1/23/202512.
