Graham_C Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hi all, I’m thinking of swapping my MXR M81 (the one without the distortion) for an Aguilar Tone Hammer. Has anyone had experience of the two and able to tell me if it’s a bright idea or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Are you only interested in the clean tones? The EQ on it is rather unusual, but 'musical', in that it doesn't sound like most common EQ circuits, but it does sound good! The low gain overdrive sounds on it are amazing, high gain not so much. Great for motown style sounds with the mids flat or boosted, or Sansamp BDDI style grit with the mids scooped. Swapping without trying may or may not be a good idea. If I were you I'd try and pick up a used Tone Hammer, compare them then sell the loser! Edited April 17, 2019 by dannybuoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham_C Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Decided against it. Had a play and the MXR wins for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
