Aguilar DB316: EQ Pedal for Musical Midrange Scoops
A bassist's new best friend?
2,7 / 5,0 | 
Bassists, take note! Here’s a small but very useful pedal for you: the Aguilar DB316 Mid EQ Micro. It’s an EQ pedal that dampens or emphasizes midrange frequencies. Let’s take a look at what that means.
Aguilar DB316: A Pedal to Clean Up the Mids
The Aguilar DB316 was designed for precise midrange control, something many bassists desperately need. The mini pedal was inspired by the highly acclaimed Tone Hammer series preamp. It allows you to shape and shift your midrange sound—especially useful for basses with two-band preamps and passive instruments where the mids are crucial. ´.
Whether you need a subtle midrange boost or a quick change to a different sound profile, the DB316 can easily make it happen
Compact and Useful
The pedal is housed in a micro-sized case that fits into any pedalboard. This makes the DB316 not only space-saving but also extremely functional. You can use it as an ‘always-on’ EQ to optimize your tone. Or you can use the DB316 to quickly switch to a secondary sound profile to support different playing styles.
The pedal has two controls: FREQ and LEVEL. With such simplicity, you can’t go wrong, and the sound is instantly at your fingertips. The pedal covers the frequency range between 180 Hz and 1 kHz. With the LEVEL control, you get to boost or cut up to 17 dB – which is more than enough for shaping the most important frequency range.
How much does the EQ Pedal cost?
The manufacturer lists the Aguilar DB316 at 99.00 USD. As soon as it is available to order, we’ll let you know here.
And, if you don’t mind more controls and even more functions, take look at the Aguilar Tone Hammer preamp, which is already available here at Thomann.*
