"The HG-2 stands alone in the industry. It’s completely unique and feels alive. I use it exclusively for mastering and can achieve anything from subtle harmonic enhancement to thick, saturated mix reinforcement. I’m inspired every time I power it up. The HG-2 is so effective, it often feels like cheating."
