Aguilar has announced the Tone Hammer 210 Combo, a compact bass combo amplifier designed to deliver the sound, feel, and performance of a full Aguilar rig in situations where space is limited but tone and reliability remain essential.
Built for working bassists, the Tone Hammer 210 Combo was not designed as a scaled-down solution. Instead, Aguilar focused on the environments bassists actually work in—small to medium venues with tight stages, studio and Broadway pit settings where clarity and consistency are critical, and houses of worship where players often rely on in-ear monitoring and flexible direct outputs rather than stage volume.
At the core of the design is a vertically oriented 2×10 cabinet that balances portability with natural projection. The cabinet remains compact while providing dispersion and stage feel closer to a traditional full-size rig. Its height is similar to a Tone Hammer head paired with an SL 410, allowing bassists to hear themselves clearly without excessive stage volume. The amplifier section is physically separated from the cabinet enclosure, preserving internal volume and resonance so the cabinet can deliver its full acoustic performance. This design results in a punchy, focused response that avoids the muddy characteristics often associated with combo amplifiers. The cabinet is loaded with custom ceramic 10-inch speakers inspired by Aguilar’s DB series drivers. Designed from the ground up, these speakers deliver a tight, controlled low end, forward and articulate midrange, and a clear voice that maintains definition in a live mix.
Mounted on top of the cabinet is a 300-watt version of Aguilar’s second-generation Tone Hammer amplifier. Players get the signature Tone Hammer character—warm, rich, and tube-inspired— with the flexibility to dial in tones ranging from vintage thump to modern edge. The rear panel is designed for modern performance needs and includes dual XLR outputs for front-of-house and monitor or in-ear monitor routing, built-in cabinet impulse responses for consistent direct tone, and compatibility with the Aguilar Cabinet Suite desktop application.
Additional features include a headphone amplifier and auxiliary input for silent practice, as well as a redesigned ultra-quiet cooling system suitable for studio and pit environments.
With its combination of efficient cabinet design, custom speakers, and a powerful Tone Hammer amplifier section, the Tone Hammer 210 Combo delivers a true Aguilar experience in a compact, professional format.
