Black Box Analog Design HG-2
Black Box Analog Design HG-2 by Plugin Alliance is currently 76% off at Plugin Boutique, dropping from $125 to just $30.
What it is
The HG-2 is a high-end tube saturation processor modeled after Black Box Analog Design's hardware unit. It features two parallel tube stages - a Pentode and a Triode - each with independent drive controls, letting you blend different flavors of harmonic distortion. The hardware version is a studio staple used by mix engineers like Dave Pensado, Bob Horn, and Jack Douglas.
Key features
- The dual-tube design gives you two distinct saturation characters that you can blend to taste
- A Density control drives both tubes harder without changing their relative balance or output level, adding mass and girth
- The Air knob adds high-frequency sparkle that works beautifully on vocals, strings, and full mixes
- A calibration switch offers Dark, Normal, and Bright voicings, and the Mix control enables clean parallel saturation processing
Who it's for
Ideal for mixing and mastering engineers who want to add analog warmth, harmonic richness, and subtle compression to their tracks. Works across genres anywhere you want that polished, expensive tube character.
