lawriemacmillan Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) I have been using this as a clean DI for the last couple of years, so it could be ideal for anybody requiring a top-level DI box but don't use floor pedals with EQs and overdrives, just to give that option. I've always used phantom power and it's always been noiseless. It works great with an electro acoustic bass too. Some helpful relevant info from Aguilar's website: Based on the respected OBP-3 preamp, the Tone Hammer[size=2][sup]®[/sup][/size] features fully sweepable midrange frequencies in addition to bass and treble controls. With the Tone Hammer's pristine D.I. you are set for the studio or the stage. To give this tone shaping unit the ultimate flexibility we are introducing our proprietary Adaptive Gain Shaping circuitry (AGS). AGS allows the player to kick in an additional gain structure and EQ with the "stomp" of a button. You can now go from modern slap sounds to vintage or overdriven. 18 volt operation gives the Tone Hammer[size=2][sup]®[/sup][/size] plenty of headroom to reproduce the most dynamic playing style. Separate Gain and Master controls allow you to dial in just the right gain structure for any instrument. The Tone Hammer[size=2][sup]®[/sup][/size] is the essential preamp/direct box for every bassist's tool box.

Just a little mark on the face where something from the sole of my shoe has knicked the surface.
