Aguilar TH 500 vs Aguilar AG500 sc.

[bubinga5]

I'm looking to purchase a smaller amp. I have an AG 500 and really love the Aguilar sound. I'm wondering if these two amps are comparable.? Or maybe a TC electronics comparable head. Any thoughts.?

From what I gathered when I looked into buying my own AG500, the TH500 is supposed to sound quite different.
Wouldn't give you the option of buying second hand for a while at least I know but the new AG700 would seem to be the obvious solution if you're looking for the same sound in a smaller package. I'd expect them to carry a fairly hefty price tag though.

Yep the TH is warm/vintage, the AG is much more modern-focused sounding. From what I`ve read the AG is the least Aggie-sounding Aggie amp. Both are good though. I`d say you can get near the TH with the AG, but not so much the other way round.
