Aguilar AG700 V2
Aguilar · amplifier
The Aguilar AG700 V2 is the second generation of Aguilar's 700-watt Class D bass amplifier head, delivering improved bottom-end performance and extended low-frequency response compared to the first generation. Unlike the warmer, character-driven Tone Hammer series, the AG700 offers a cleaner, more transparent voice allowing the natural character of the bass to shine with high-fidelity clarity. Reviewers describe it as having definite character: clean, tight, and powerfully present without being scooped or overly bright, sounding like a hi-fi solid-state head with solid-state character. At 2.22 kg it provides 700 watts into 4 ohms, making it suitable for large stages and demanding live applications.
