Aguilar AGRO Owners Manual

AGROTM

Based on the popular AG 500 saturation channel, the AGRO was designed to give
bass players a wide range of tonal flexibility. From vintage tube-like warmth to
full on dirt, this circuit will allow you to add rich harmonic overdrive to your
sound while maintaining the full, round tone of your instrument. The AGRO can
be run in front of your amp, in your FX loop, or as a preamp straight into a
power amp. Whichever way you use your new AGRO – Rock On!
