The difference is mainly tube (pentode/triode) vs transistor(fet/zener). The HG-2MS seems comparable to the VSM-4 given the tube layout. As for sound, the VSM-3 might be "more different" from the HG-2MS than the VSM-4. I was trying to decide if it was worth the effort to demo. ... update... And then Larry posts this ^^^. I'm pretty happy with the HG-2MS on acoustic/organic tracks. Edited May 8, 2021 by jackson white responding to the latest post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - as far as saturation plugins (...and other types of plugins now that I think about it), I think I'm covered, or at least until my next bout of GAS ? I was wondering because my impression of Zo's Black Box review was that it was one of best sounding plugins at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
