Bx Saturator Review

Before getting too heavily entrenched in this list, I recommend that you sign up for Plugin Alliance’s newsletter (found at the bottom of their website). They regularly send out insane deals that drop their products down to as much as 90% off. Another excellent buying tip is to bundle their products together, which can save you up to an additional 60% on your order. You should wait until a number of the plugins you’re interested in go on sale, bundle them together, and then purchase a handful of them at once. In some situations, you can even add cheaper plugins to your cart, which will discount your bundle below your previous total.

Bx Saturator Review Definition

The plugins a part of this list are tools that I use regularly. These aren’t merely alternatives to other devices that I own; they’re the go-to tools I’m using for the functions they perform. If a product doesn’t provide significant value beyond what’s available from other plugin distributors, it didn’t make the list. Each one of these plugins is free to download and demo for 14 days, so you can test them out for yourself!

This unit allows you to make use of four different vacuum tube stages combined in series. It also uses parallel circuits to color your sound with additional harmonic content. The HG-2 has separate gain controls for its pentode and triode tubes, and a particularly useful Density knob that lets you drive both tubes harder without changing the relative balance of either knob.

Although there aren’t that many controls on this device, there are so many parameter combinations you can create, that the results you can expect will range from dark to bright, clean to distorted, etc. The HG-2 definitely has a signature sound, but it provides a wide variety of tones, which is what you want from a quality color box.
