The Black Box Analog Design HG-2 is a saturation plugin that is OUTSTANDING!
I’ve been using it on podcast voices because it brings voices closer and makes them smoother and more analog. And the Air knob adds some nice clarity to darker recordings.
From their website: Dial in the perfect blend of pentode and triode tube sweetness, then adjust the Density control to drive both tubes harder without changing their relative balance, adding more girth and mass. The Air knob lets you control how much high-frequency fairy dust you sprinkle on. Turning down the Mix control adds back dry signal at the plugin’s output, combining HG-2’s beautiful tube softness and luster with the original signal.
