Overview

The Black Box Analog Design HG-2 is a line-level, stereo unit designed to add saturation, harmonics, natural compression, increased RMS, and enhancement during mixing and mastering.  Using tubes, transformers, and tone to enhance the audio, it does what usually requires multiple pieces of gear and does it better! This is the tube color box you’ve been looking for!

Feed the pentode tube into the triode tube to find the sweet spot for your audio. Get even more tone by adding the saturation stage with the flexibility to choose what frequency range hits the transformers.

Professional mixing and mastering engineers love the analog sound of the tubes and transformers – it makes their mixes sound louder, bigger, and punchier!
