“ShaperBox is my go-to tool for sidechain-style volume ducking. It’s in every project I do.
"
“ShaperBox is a box of many must-have, well organised tools for sound design and even mixing. Multiband filter on basic effects makes them sound absolutely the new different way and inspirational. The 'Time' function is my favourite. For sidechain, I use the VolumeShaper, every day.
"
“Having the ability to bend, slow and manipulate a sound using a single plugin has been a HUGE asset, not just in the area of sound design, but also in conserving processing power. ShaperBox 2 is among our 'Go-To’s' for accomplishing this!
Nard & B, Multi-Platinum Producers (Migos, Future, Lil Uzi Vert)
"
“ShaperBox is a masterpiece of simplicity of use and complexity of sound. In my daily arsenal.
"
“I simply can't do without Cableguys products in my mixing and music production workflow.
Khaliq Glover, Grammy-Winning Engineer (Prince, Justin Timberlake, Herbie Hancock)
"
“I love how unpredictable yet easy to use ShaperBox 2 is. There is literally an unlimited amount of combinations of effects you can get. It’s become a go-to for sound design and making my production unique.
Mick Schultz, Producer (Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Jeremih)
"
“ShaperBox 2 gives a unique change to a production when you felt like the beat was already complete.
C.P Dubb, Producer (Tyga, Tory Lanez, French Montana)
"
“ShaperBox 2 is so dope because whatever it is you do, however you create, it’ll help you 10x. I promise you your beats will be sounding ten times better if you use it the right way.
TT Audi of 808 Mafia, Producer (Gunna, Tyga, G-Eazy)
"
“Editing, flipping, modulating and pitching sounds is something we do in all our productions. With ShaperBox 2, this became easier and can instantly spark new ideas.
"
“I’m a crazy, crazy user of ShaperBox 2! Most projects of mine have dozens and dozens of instances.
"
“Giving movement to tracks has never been easier! ShaperBox 2 is now my Swiss Army knife to get the mix bouncing! I often use the Pan module to create rhythmic panning on tracks, it’s awesome! The Width module is incredible too! Being able to automate stereo width automatically and in time can create some serious mojo and contrast in synths or guitars!
John Nathaniel, Producer/Mixer/Songwriter (OneRepublic, Switchfoot, Kygo)
"
“Wow! Love the updated multiband window now offering 3 bands and 24dB filters! That will get heavy use in my future projects for sure. Also the new Pens are very useful! So many new features.

Seven Cableguys effects
Time, Drive, Crush, Volume, Filter, Pan and Width Shapers come together in ShaperBox 2. Experience analogue-like filters, glitchy stutters, multiband distortion, punchy compression, super-tight sidechain ducking, mid-side expansion, lo-fi bitcrushing, and much more – all in one CPU-efficient plugin.
Cableguys quality
ShaperBox 2 uses top-quality DSP, for seriously good sound that professionals rely on. Sample-accurate LFOs for ultimate precision. High-quality interpolation and anti-aliasing for artifact-free FX. Linkwitz-Riley multiband crossovers for flat frequency response and zero latency. MIDI Trigger smoothing for click-free sidechains. And more.
LFOs that you design
At the heart of every Shaper is an LFO unlike any other. From choppy rhythms to organic pulsations, any wave shape you can imagine is just clicks away with Cableguys' famous editing tools. Lock your LFOs to DAW tempo with sample accuracy, or trigger in any rhythm with MIDI notes.
Introducing Pens
New! Designing the ideal LFO just got even easier with three powerful, easy-to-grasp Pens. Draw crisp lines, smooth arcs and flowing S-curves. Redraw transients in a click, rapidly build rhythmic patterns, and more. Switch back to classic single-node editing anytime.
Flexible envelope followers
New! Drive, Crush, Filter, Pan and Width Shapers can react automatically to the dynamics of your beats, loops, melodies – anything. Make filters open with each snare hit. Pan percussion dynamically. Widen synths as they grow louder. Trigger from other tracks in your project using sidechain routing.
Designer compression
New! With a high-quality, British-inspired compressor inside VolumeShaper 6, you see compression on the same large graph as your volume edits. Get that perfect punch and control for drums, basslines, vocals and more. Still not perfect? Grab a Pen and refine the gain curve till it is.
Multiband made easy
Every Shaper can be split into 3 bands, for tightly focused processing. Compress the bass. Stutter the mids. Reverse the highs. No limits on your creativity.
New! Steep 24dB crossovers join the classic 6 and 12dB models,
for even greater precision.
Packs of inspiration
Explore 1000+ pro presets, and share patches via the Cableguys Preset Cloud.
New! Find inspiration with Packs, curated collections of the very best presets for lo-fi FX, compression, scratching, and more. Work even faster with 1-click Quick Presets for essentials like sidechain ducking.
