You get what you expect from your mix + a bit (or a lot) harmonics and a some additional width. Since you can adjust the balance between the pentodes and triodes, as well as an injected low/flat/high signal, the options are quite flexible.
Thanks Lagerfeldt for the useful explanation. I think I am starting to understand this better now, thinking more about added harmonics, rather than just distortion (unless you want that), providing a wider image.

There's nothing muddy about the HG-2. By default it's you'll get a sensation of added details, but not quite being able to place what's going on. That's the harmonics bringing everything out without sounding like an EQ.
And if you want to smash things up a bit or specifically add some more low end, then use the parallel injection.
Good to hear, it certainly sounds like a very flexible unit. Thank you for your time in explaining it further to me.
Will look out for your video review
