    This plugin sounds musical and gives some extra smoothness to your tracks. I works nice in the mix. Sometimes it´s bax eq which does the job and sometimes it´s the HG-2.

    Works magic on about everything I put it on. Low setting on kick/bass/808 bus, flat or high setting with some "air" on vocals, backing vocals, subtle drive on the mix bus. Always sounds musical!

    This is by far my favorite distortion/saturation module at my disposal. It sounds absolutely amazing on individual tracks, buses, and even as a master channel processor.
    It brings out a lot of presence without disrupting the mix. This is my go-to plugin for making a sound really shine, and it's extremely versatile in that you can really hear how it affects the sound with each turn of the knob. Definitely give it a try!

    Hi there, I have been producing all kind of electronic dance music since 1995, my main project being Psytrance, but I do produce a lot of indie rock, electro jazz, trap and I use the black box design either on inserts or as a bus mix processor, to warm up my signals, brings some odds harmonics tight up a mix together as well, give more punch to the low end section as well, I do use it as well in mastering on Parallel processing. This plugin is amazing, thanks for bringing out this kind of feel in the digital world!!!

    I had to share this. I was mastering a rock CD for a big production library company. The tracks had crunch guitars, but they were a little thin to my ears. There was lots of bass on the tracks, so I didn't want to muddy up the sound. I used my usual arsenal but was not satisfied with my results. Then I remembered the HG 2 Black Box. I opened the Master-Thickness preset, tweaked (I didn't want the Alt Tube). I am very happy with the results, and I think the client will be too.

    Thanks and rock on!
