Aguilar Amplification Archives

Aguilar Amplification has a tradition of releasing limited edition colors each year, and they’ve just unveiled their latest creation. Rather than a single product, though, they’ve added several color options to much of their lineup.

Aguilar Amplification has expanded its Super Lightweight series with the new SL 110 speaker cabinet. Weighing in at 23 pounds, it marks the most compact cabinet in the company’s lineup.

Aguilar Amplification has put the sound of their AG series bass amps into a pedal with the new AG Preamp pedal. The company says it “inherits the renowned AG preamp’s tight, fast response and extensive tonal flexibility.”

Aguilar Amplification has added a new model to their ultra-compact line of pedals with the DB 599 Bass Compressor. Housed in a yellow chassis, the mini unit has a simple control layout with a knob for gain and a knob for compression.

Aguilar has blended their DCB pickup design into traditional shapes with the new DCB 4P, 4J, 5J, and 4PJ pickups. The dual ceramic bar style introduces a “new and unique voice for Jazz and Precision style basses,” they say.

Aguilar Amplification has been acquired by Korg USA, according to an email sent to retailers. Company co-founder Dave Boonshoft confirmed the news on Facebook.

Aguilar Amplification has unveiled a second limited edition color run of their SL cabinets for 2020. The new Poseidon Green Special Edition SL Cabinets carry the same features as their standard versions with the special cover.

Aguilar Amplification is celebrating their 25th anniversary with a limited edition run of their pedal lineup. The Silver Anniversary pedals come finished in the company’s silver and black color scheme with a special decal and commemorative package.

Aguilar Amplification has introduced its first micro pedal with the DB 925 Bass Preamp. Inspired by their DB 924, the new unit is al all-FET preamp with bass and treble boost controls.

Every year, Aguilar Amplification creates a limited edition run of their SL cabinets in a special color, and this year the company has unveiled they will be “Royal Purple.”

Aguilar introduced a new pickup design at the Summer NAMM Show with the DCB-M4 and M5. The pickups, which are four and five-string versions of the same model, are humbuckers in a familiar shape.

Aguilar Amplification has added a new model to their Super Light Bass Cabinet series with the SL 210. The lightweight cab is fitted with a pair of custom-voiced 10-inch neodymium speakers as well as a phenolic tweeter with variable level control.
