Product Info

The Agro is Aguilar's take on a gritty, warm bass overdrive – think a vintage tube amp pushed just a bit. It’s fantastic for adding some serious growl to your low end, especially if you're playing blues, rock, or heavier genres where a saturated, mid-focused tone is key. It’s a focused effect, not a Swiss Army knife, but it does that one thing exceptionally well.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's more of a broad shaping tool, subtly affecting frequencies across the spectrum rather than precise EQ adjustments.
It's designed for overdrive, so it’s not truly transparent, but the Saturation knob allows for a very subtle thickening of your clean signal if dialed back carefully.
The Gig Saver bypass introduces a very minor coloration compared to a true bypass, but it’s a worthwhile tradeoff to avoid complete signal loss when your battery dies.
