MIX BUS, MEET YOUR NEW BEST
FRIEND
Looking for the piece of gear that gives you that elusive “magic” on your mix
bus? We were too! We went through everything from high end summing
mixers to racks of insanely expensive gear and most of it barely did anything
(you had to sit on the edge of your seat and strain to see if you could tell the
difference)! Even when we did find combinations that got us close to what we
were after, it meant tens of thousands of dollars in gear and using each piece
for very little (sometimes using a piece of gear only for it’s transformers). Most
frustrating of all, it meant lots of controls with none of them directly focused
on doing what we were after. This was 2009 and it became obvious that no
one made what we were looking for so we created
Black Box Analog Design
and
spent the next five years designing the HG-2.
The HG-2 is specifically and uniquely designed to be an all in one unit capable
of giving you all the vibe, harmonics, saturation, tonal enhancement and RMS
you could want on the mix bus. With simple, intuitive controls, no compromise
components and unique features not seen on any other piece of gear, the HG-2
replaces many pieces of gear and simplifies mixing.
From extremely subtle harmonic enhancement of the tubes and Cinemag
transformers to RMS pushing saturation, full on distortion and natural tube
compression, the HG-2 is designed to give you full control over the “mojo” on
your mix bus. It also happens to sound awesome on instruments and as a front
end for synths and other stereo sources!
