    With its totally redesigned parallel saturation section, the HG-2MS gives you vastly more colors, textures and flexibility than ever before! The brand new highpass, lowpass, bandpass and bandstop filters with full control over frequency, Q and slope give you the ability to shape and tailor the saturation, separately for each channel. Additionally, the solo button allows you to hear only the parallel saturation so you can dial in exactly what you need, or keep it engaged to create a whole palette of automatable filters with endless vibe.
    This new plugin has also received the TMT Module – Brainworx’s patented Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT) simulates channel-to-channel variances in electronic components for the most realistic analog sound possible inside a DAW. Price TbA

    Hopefully we will have more control now on target freqs that will lead to cleaner saturation (see what i did there).

    The MS feature is just perfect and TMT hopefully make it sound closer to box.

    Company claims that this is a new plug-in, meaning that there are upgrade offers but it's not a free update.

    EDIT: 44.99 with this month's voucher on top.

    If you dont have a good listening environment then these type of plugins can do more harm than good, since we tend to overdo it.

    True. However, this applies to any kind of processing.

    True but more so with saturation plugins.

    This is not a question of the listening envoronment but rather of taste, experience, skill and artistic vision… so actually all the things you can't compensate with buying new plugins.

    Well, yes. The attributes you listed also play a not unimportant role. But maybe, so this thread doesn't slide into offtopic, we can just agree that each of these attributes can compensate for a lack of other attributes up to a certain point. While experience and listening skills can partially compensate for suboptimal room acoustics, the reverse is also true.

    ok so .... if you have the old version ... is this really worth getting ? the multiband splitting is very interesting but you could do it easily in any daw... why would u need to get the upgrade ?

    If you don't know you want it, you don't want it.

    I'll stick to using my hardware HG-2, these plugin HG-2 emulations can't get close to what all those tubes and transformers do when driven... but to each their own.

    I was just about to write @ Dirk a veery nasty msg.. and "REQ:" an ASAP Arr2Arrr "treatment" right here, thus commiting a "forum suicide" :suicide: as @No Avenger AKA The Tiger would have to ban me (as I'd be against the rules)

    So @5teezo, you basically saved D's ass (as well as mine). Still I was hoping for smthn like 14.99$ crossgrade :rofl:

    You have to dig into your mail tho. It's not mentioned in my PA account.. like for other cross-offers .

    I got it for free in my account as a part of yearly Mix & Master subscription bundle. So I have no complaints.
    Will try it out tonight and test this new PA toy :wink:

    EDIT: FuuuUuuk! HG-2MS sounds gorgeous! Yes, even better than older one and additional options & new presets are awesome!

    the old Black Box Analog design, whenever the drums is thin and lack of energy, I'll go straight to the preset no 30. "Master Additional Balls".

    don't know if I need this new one, but looks good though.
