The Cableguys Bundle Black Friday deal packs TimeStop, PitchShaper, Snapback, Curve 2, DriveShaper 2 and FilterShaper XL into one purchase at $149, with 16% off, and it ends Dec 1, 2026.
These are Cableguys effects and a synth that cover tape-stops, pitch shifting, drum layering, waveform-driven synthesis and distortion.
Several of these are Shapers that run inside Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 effects plugin. According to the maker, they all work the same way and can be stacked into layered effects.
TimeStop works on any sound, from vocals and drums to the master bus. The big Pitch knob is automatable, so you draw the slowdown curve in your DAW at any length and shape. It has three timing modes: Classic, Modern and Loop.
PitchShaper offers four algorithms: Complex, Vocals, Drums and Vintage. You can draw octave jumps, arps, bends and pitch drops, or start from one-click patterns. On vocals it includes full formant control, and multiband mode warps pitch in three directions at once.
Snapback detects each hit on a drum track and layers new samples on top in time. It can also place snapback samples before the transient, a technique the maker credits to pro producers. It ships with over 200 layers from BT, Goldbaby, Virtual Riot and Cyclick, plus filters, envelopes, pitch adjustment and a waveform display for checking phase alignment.
DriveShaper 2 has 11 waveshaping algorithms you can animate with drawable LFOs and one-slider Envelope Followers. The maker lists uses like harder 808s, sizzling treble, stronger drum attack and distorted rhythms on pads.
Curve 2 is the synth in the pack. Its oscillators, LFOs and envelopes accept custom waveforms, and the oscillators are aliasing-free with noise generation and broad FM options.
A unison mode covers fat leads and wide pads. Drawable LFOs handle wobbles, rhythmic patterns and bit-crushing effects. Filter routing is flexible, and the mono mode includes legato and glide.
The preset library is a shared online database with public sharing and voting, built into the plugin. Presets come from designers such as Michael Kastrup, Pluginguru, Myagi, Xenos Soundworks and Soundsdivine. Macro knobs give quick access to the parameters that define a sound, and built-in MIDI assignment sets up external controllers.
