The Aguilar amPlug 3 Tone Hammer bass headphone amp is the perfect tool for bass players seeking a portable, silent practice solution with the iconic Aguilar sound. Modeled after Aguilar’s famous Tone Hammer amplifier, this compact practice amp delivers warm, rich tones, along with versatile effects and a built-in rhythm machine for added convenience. Whether you're a seasoned player or a beginner looking to experience Aguilar’s renowned sound, the amPlug 3 offers a high-quality, affordable practice setup that’s easy to take anywhere.

Dual Channels for Clean and Driven Tones

The Aguilar amPlug 3 Tone Hammer features two all-analog channels. The clean channel offers the classic Tone Hammer voicing, while the Drive channel adds a more saturated, tube-inspired tone for when you need a bit more grit. This versatility allows you to cover everything from smooth, deep bass lines to aggressive, overdriven sounds, making it perfect for players of all styles.

Built-In Effects and Drum Machine

With the amPlug 3, you can experiment with Aguilar’s signature effects, including a compression circuit inspired by the TLC Compressor, a short room-style reverb, and a chorus effect based on the Chorusaurus pedal. These effects add depth and texture to your practice sessions, keeping you inspired and engaged. Additionally, the built-in drum machine offers various rhythm patterns and adjustable tempos, allowing you to practice your timing and groove without needing extra gear.

Compact, Portable, and Easy to Use

Designed for portability, the Aguilar amPlug 3 Tone Hammer is small enough to fit in your pocket, making it easy to bring along for practice anywhere. The simple Tilt-EQ control lets you adjust bass and treble simultaneously, offering a range of tones from bass-forward warmth to articulate, focused sound. With its battery-powered design, this headphone amp is a must-have for bassists who need a silent practice solution that doesn’t sacrifice tone.
