Black Box HG-2
★★★★★Get this plugin! Love what it does to my 2 track mix, bass, acoustic guitars, drums....anything that needs a touch of girth! -
Pure Delicious Tube Power!
★★★★★I saw/heard the reviews. So I had to try it out for myself.
So I downloaded the demo. Fell in love with it right away. Just what I was looking for.
It actually sounds pretty good with JUST the plugin in the circuit. No turning knobs or anything.
Love the presets to get ya started. Defintiely brings my tracks to life.
Over all I bought it after 7 days. Would have bought it after the 1st day of testing it out, but was low on cash. Ya know...Bills...Booo! :P
I highly recommend checking it out. -
Just buy it
★★★★★Seriously, just buy this. Wow! Just a seriously great plug. I think Decapitator just got bumped -
The Plugin That Can Do No Wrong
★★★★★I have applied the Mix Bus 1 preset to a series of film composition cues (34 in total) for the same film and this present alone has felt like lifting a blanket off of my studio monitors. I can't wait to dive in more on future projects but for right now this is really giving my orchestral film tracks the shine and professional sound they need! I almost don't want to mix into the 2 bus with this on because it feels like opening a gift every time you put this on the stereo out after making a solid mix! -
HG-2
★★★★★Don't look forward for your new saturation plugin, there you go! I've using it for a week and it's very good! All the presets are very useful and they gives your sound the energy it needs to sound massive & rich! -
Dynamite Sound
★★★★★I picked up the HG-2 plugin intending to use it while mastering to add that little something extra special to my mixes… Little did I know that it would launch my tracks into the stratosphere! My tracks sound louder, are more vibrant and wide open; all while losing none of my precious dynamic range. The plug-in is relatively simple to operate and, like a lot of the analog gear it models, no setting really sounds “bad”. Although the controls are simple there are an infinite number of possibilities. A bargain! Get it! -

HG-2 Plugin
★★★★★I am one of the lucky ones that has the hardware version of HG-2(the very first to be released).Since then, I have used in all my work at the master bus channel . Fortunately Plugin Alliance brought to my DAW all the potential that the hardware unit has.
I've always felt the need to have multiple instances of HG-2 on individual tracks. Now it's possible!
If you have a lifeless sound try to give it a little bit of "Air" and rise the Pentode and Triode knobs , you will notice that it will become richer and fuller. I love to use the saturation on the low end , it feels stronger and deeper. I can preserve all the dynamics and enjoy the absence of compression artifacts .
Since 2015 I am a daily user of this marvel , from now on...also the plugin version!
Thank Plugin Alliance and Black Box team! -
This is 'make-my-sound-bigger' saturator
★★★★★Since I tried it, I can't live without it. This is 'make-my-sound-bigger' saturator, my meat and potatoes on sound kitchen. Love it! -
Blackbox is much more versatile than advertised
★★★★★Such a brilliant sounding plugin that had me checking the plugin alliance everyday during the trial period to see when it was released.
This unit does do many things! and it does it so well! I found it awesome for tasks such as driving, colouring, lifting high end percussion, giving crunch to percussion, taking away synth's digital sound, adding amazing harmonics to pads and controlling dynamics. It's now a goto plugin for me..
Absolutely love it!!
