A Limited Edition Celebrating Aguilar's New York DNA
A direct evolution of the OBP-3 preamp spirit, the Tone Hammer "NYC LTD" condenses Aguilar's expertise into a sturdy pedal format. This limited edition highlights the aesthetic and sonic approach of the New York-born brand, with a versatile voicing that covers everything from modern studio to the most demanding stages.Who Is This Pedal For?
Bassists of all levels seeking a professional sound ready to use immediately. Ideal for funk and slap thanks to tight lows and precise highs, it also excels in rock, pop, soul, and urban music. Live, it serves as the heart of a pedalboard or as an amp backup. In the studio, its clean and configurable DI ensures consistent takes that are easy to mix.Controls and Connectivity Designed for the Field
The 3-band EQ section, with sweepable mid frequencies, allows precise sculpting of the instrument's articulation. The Gain and Master controls adjust attack and overall level independently. The AGS switch instantly adds drive and dedicated EQ, while the Engage switch activates the circuit. The XLR output includes a ground lift and a pre/post switch to choose whether the EQ affects the DI. Input and output jacks complete a full connectivity set, all housed in a road-ready steel enclosure.Sound
The Tone Hammer NYC LTD combines clarity and character. In clean mode, it remains transparent, tightens the lows, and refines the highs without harshness. Activating the AGS adds warm harmonics and a slight natural compression that enrich the groove and highlight fingerstyle and pick playing alike. The mid sweep facilitates sitting in the mix, whether seeking a woody vintage grain or a modern, defined presence.Technical specifications
