Saturn 2
FabFilter
Push any instrument into warmth or aggression with 28 distortion characters and surgical multiband control. Modulate each frequency band independently for endless sonic texturing.
The Black Box Analog Design HG-2 is a faithful plugin emulation of the high-end tube processor that adds rich harmonic coloration and saturation to individual tracks and full mixes. It models four vacuum tube stages—6U8A pentode and triode tubes in series with modeled transformers, plus two alternate 12AX7 tubes in a parallel saturation circuit—to impart subtle warmth or blistering overdrive while increasing perceived loudness without requiring traditional compression. Expanded with digital controls like Density, Air, Calibration, and Mix, the HG-2 excels at transforming thin or sterile tracks into fat, punchy, vibrant mixes with beautiful character and charisma.
