• ultimate creativity Sculpt frequencies to remove unwanted elements while simultaneously enhancing key tonal characteristics with Black Box’s coveted creamy saturation. Harness warm analog tone
• with total control of dynamic phase interactions and the ability to adjust Q values for each band independently. This is the sound of modern analog. Every frequency
• every detail – fully under control Unlike conventional saturation
• the HG-Q’s circuit brings out lower-level details and enhances the mix density
• resulting in a fuller
• more vibrant sound. The “2X” mode further expands the EQ’s range
• allowing up to 16dB boosts and cuts with intensified saturation that brings out every harmonic nuance. The result is a more cohesive
• balanced
• and musically engaging sound
• achievable even at aggressive settings. Shape
• shift
• and reshape – all within view HG-Q has a one-of-a-kind topology. Its bands interact with one another in a  totally new way. You’ll love hearing how boosts and cuts add character to frequencies on other bands
• or watching and controlling these special interactions with the built-in spectrum analyzer. A new way to EQ  As you start boosting
