Aguilar AG500V2 Gen 2 500-watt Bass Amplifier Head
Compact, lightweight, and boasting 500 watts of clean, uncolored tone, the Aguilar AG500V2 Gen 2 500-watt Bass Amplifier Head is ready to take on any stage or studio application. This second-generation update to Aguilar’s scaled-back series of amplifier heads brandishes a bold new set of specs, including a full-featured IR Loader with pre-loaded Aguilar cabs and the ability to lock in your favorite 3rd party custom IRs — a must-have feature that imparts a sense of depth and realism to the AG500V2’s XLR DI out. Furthermore, the upgraded power section now features universal mains to accommodate touring artists around the world and you also get improved cab support down to 2.67 ohms. What about the tone? The AG500V2’s versatile voice is designed to serve as a blank sonic canvas for your instrument, allowing your bass’ natural tone to shine through. It’s all wrapped up with an expansive 4-band EQ, Deep/Bright switches, and headphone jack for silent practice sessions.
Flexible 4-band EQ and Bright/Deep switches
While Aguilar tells us that the AG500V2 is engineered to deliver a clean, clear, and uncolored response, this head’s extensive EQ controls allow you to tweak and twist your tone for any sonic application. It all starts off with traditional Bass and Treble knobs, along with an enhanced midrange section consisting of dedicated Low Mid and High Mid controls. You also get a high-end-enhancing Bright switch and a Deep switch to round out your tone.
V2 adds an onboard IR Loader to the mix
Enjoy cab-free performance thanks to the Aguilar AG500V2’s front-panel XLR DI out, allowing you to send your sound straight to your audio interface or the venue’s PA system. What’s more, the AG500V2’s onboard IR Loader ensures that your direct tones hit with all the punch and sonic authenticity of a traditional cabinet thanks to its pre-loaded SL- and DB-series cabinet tones. And if you’re already running a set of custom IRS, have no fear — the AG500V2’s IR Loader is also capable of running 3rd party IRs.
