    The HG-Q is the first plugin in a long time that has me rethinking my approach to EQ. Beautiful.

    There are 10,000 EQ plugins out there. None of them are this.

    It's actually difficult to put into one sentence the brilliance of the Black Box HG-Q. It's not just another 3 band EQ and it's not just another saturation tool. It's the culmination of both of those things that allows for complex EQ curves with variable saturation on each band. It yields a sound like no other single plugin I've used. Ever.

    The HG–2 has been my top pick for saturation for years now, and this just takes my favorite flavor of saturation and makes it significantly more versatile. The fact that you can add saturation to only the top end of your vocal, or only the mid range of the guitar helping it cut through the mix, or only the low end of a synthesizer, or any other combination you can dream, up is fantastic!
