Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tone Hammer V2 is a compact 18V bass preamp for dialing in an amplified, direct, or headphone-based setup. Its three-band EQ gives bass and treble adjustment plus a sweepable midrange, so you can target the part of the midrange you want to change. The updated Drive section has separate Drive and Gain controls, with footswitch activation when you need it during a set. DI routing, ground lift, AUX input, and headphone volume make it useful across stage, recording, and practice workflows.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing EQ and switching Drive on and off during a live bass performance
- Sending a balanced DI signal to recording equipment, a mixing board, or an amplifier
