    clean transparent gain for days.. even the saturation circuit delivers sub girth without unwanted artifacts. used gently it gives instruments presence through the top end and does the same on the two bus. Quite a flexible and deep tool, great to pair with more colored distortion, often gets used first in an effects chain for transparent gain staging... 2 thumbs up!

    This is amazing! I use it on my channels, busses and 2 buss! Only annoying thing is I now want to try the hardware! Quite possibly my fave saturation plug in.

    Please try the hardware. Eric Racy is such a great guy, he will surely find a way to let you hear it!

    Although this plugin might (at first) not be as 'drastic' as using EQ, Comp or EFX plugins, it is the subtlety that brings the beauty and 'magic' to your mix. It can add the extra warmth, fatness, shine, air, presence etc we are all looking for. I love it.

    My sampling chain will never be the same again! I applied the Black Box Analog Design HG-2 to the first insert of my MPC 2.0 sampler and it gave my sample sources that additional seasoning that was missing! Thank you guys for making another great plugin...

    This thing is a gem. Took me a while to work it out, as the gain staging is tricky, but it just has that sound. I've heard a real one too and this thing is bang on. Just get it.

  • Great saturation

    This plugin surprised me when I put it in my chain where everything was great and impossible to improve (as I thought then). It was heavily loaded with multilayering saturation and "color" eqs already and usually another level of saturation just make it sounds oversaturated, harsh and distorted (I've tried lots of them). But this plugin gave me opportunity to make it even better! Trying it on different things since, I've found it's a very useful plugin in lots of situations when it literally shines.

  • Super plug-in

    A great tool to add the right amount of harmonics and weight to groups, busses or the master. Perfect to glue everything together.
