Plugin Alliance Black Box Analog Design HG-2MS v1.3.1 WiN-BUBBiX

Plugin Alliance Black Box Analog Design HG-2MS is a tube saturation effect for producers who want extra harmonic weight on individual tracks, groups or the mix bus. It models four vacuum tube stages in series and parallel, alongside input and output transformer coloration, to move between subtle warmth and more pronounced drive.

Mono, stereo and mid-side processing let you shape different parts of a mix independently. You can add saturation to the sides while leaving the center cleaner, or give each a different harmonic character. Highpass, lowpass, bandpass and bandstop filters help target the saturation separately for each channel.

Independent pentode and triode gain controls set the tonal balance, while Density increases their drive together without altering that balance or the output level. Dark, Normal and Bright calibration settings adjust the high-frequency character. An Air control adds top-end presence, and the Mix knob blends dry signal back in to retain definition and punch.

Available for Windows in 64-bit VST2, VST3 and AAX formats, HG-2MS suits hobby producers refining vocals, instruments and full mixes in compatible hosts such as FL Studio and Ableton Live.
