Black Box Analog Design HG-Q

About

Brainworx and Black Box Analog Design are proud to introduce the HG-Q plugin, a meticulously modeled version of the forthcoming HG-Q hardware EQ that’s seven years in the making. Building on the acclaimed collaboration that brought the HG-2 to life, this revolutionary EQ combines analog warmth with cutting-edge flexibility and tonal depth, bringing an entirely new dimension to EQs.

Featuring six bands of fully independent boosts and cuts, HG-Q is a creative powerhouse that reshapes and enhances your sound in a totally unique way. Boosts combine gain with Black Box’s trademark analog tubes, adding rich, creamy harmonic content without muddying transients or compromising mix clarity. Cuts are performed with a pristine solid-state circuit for reduced distortion. This leads to the best of all worlds and one-of-a-kind interactions. HG-Q gives you refined control over every element of your mix.
