Tone Hammer™ Sound Clips and Sample Settings

Lance Tolbert of Mariah Carey

The 1st half of each clip is Lance's bass clean, the 2nd half of each is with the Tone Hammer engaged. He is using his Fender American Deluxe Jazz 5-string recorded directly into Logic.

"I love the colors it adds to my bass. The Tone Hammer's headroom makes it easy to play with a wide range of dynamics." - Lance Tolbert - Mariah Carey

Saturnino

"I love my Tone Hammer! I can plug my bass anywhere with an incredible range of tones and volume!" - Saturnino

Saturnino recorded his clip with his N.O.A.H custom alluminio bass. The bass signal was sent directly from the Tone Hammer into ProTools completely flat.

Matt Noveskey of Blue October

Matt played this track on a Fender Custom Shop Tony Franklin Precision Bass

"I pulled the TONE HAMMER out of the box, plugged it in and immediately started tracking in the studio. When I finished Steve Lillywhite and I looked at each other and said, 'That sounded amazing...Let's recut some songs with it.' I couldn't be happier. Thank you Aguilar!" - Matt Noveskey - Blue October

Vivi Rama

Vivi Rama is known for bringin' da funk to hit records from will.i.am and Macy Gray. Listen to her Tone Hammer groove that she recorded with her Musicman Stingray 4-string direct into her recording system.

"The TONE HAMMER is a compact way to carry a big tone; great for the studio, great for the road".

Dan Lutz

Dan recorded these clips with his passive, Lakland Darryl Jones 5 string. The bass was strung with Elixir strings and was sent directly from the Tone Hammer’s output, straight into his Pro Tools recording rig. For each clip, Dan plays the first 30 seconds with the Tone Hammer bypassed. For the remainder of the clip, the Tone Hammer is engaged.

Steve Jenkins

Steve Jenkins recorded his two clips with his passive Fender Geddy Lee signature Jazz bass. The bass signal was sent directly from the Tone Hammer and into his computer. For his Zeta Reticuli clip, Steve took the original backing tracks of the song from his album Mad Science and re-recorded the bass using the Tone Hammer. Aguilar is happy to premier the Tone Hammer-fueled Zeta 2008 here!
