Aguilar Amplification’s November 2009 newsletter

Welcome to Aguilar’s November 2009 Newsletter! We have plenty of things to report this month including a new addition to our growing family of bass pedals, an artist interview with Jeph Howard of The Used, new Octamizer and Tone Hammer sound samples and a slew of new bassists who have joined our artist roster!

The TLC Compressor™ is designed to give musicians the ability to control their dynamics in a flexible and musical way, making it an invaluable musical tool for both recording and live use. Our proprietary Trans Linear Control (TLC) circuit enables us to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in a small package.

The TLC Compressor™ features a four-knob layout to provide a full set of important features. Using a wide range of attack times and variable threshold and slope levels, you’ll be able to dial in just the right sound. Aguilar’s TLC Compressor™ gives you a range of control usually found only in expensive studio compressors.

Our new artist interview is with Jeph Howard of The Used! In the article Jeph talks about the creation of the group's new album, Artwork, and finding the perfect bass distortion courtesy of his Aguilar AG 500! To read the article, click here.

We have new sound clips! We recently posted some killer sound clips that we know you will want to check out:

Tony Grey (John McLaughlin, Hiromi, The Tony Grey Project) has generously supplied us with three Octamizer sound clips. Can a fretless bass; a drum loop and an octave pedal co-exist? Tony has happily answered that call with a resounding YES!

We also have a new batch of Tone Hammer sound clips from Mariah Carey’s bassist, Lance Tolbert! Click here to visit the Tone Hammer sound clips page and listen to Lance lay down a pair of supremely funky grooves!
