ChromaBox Black Friday pricing is 60% off, which brings this spectrum exciter plugin from W. A. Production to $15.96 until Nov 29, 2026.
ChromaBox is a spectrum exciter that adds saturation, frequency shaping and 3D space to audio from a single window. The maker says it aims for big results with very little fuss.
The ChromaBox plugin works on any kind of audio, from synths and bass lines to guitars and acoustic instruments.
The core of the plugin is a set of 32 color profiles. Each one applies its own saturation and frequency shaping, and you can click through them for a quick change of tone.
The profiles are sorted into four groups: Dark, Light, Vivid and Soft.
Hue, Saturation and Luminance dials let you reshape whatever profile you pick. The maker suggests using them to add sparkle to guitars or body to acoustic instruments.
The Depth dial scales every other parameter at once. Turning it up brings in more saturation, 3D effects and frequency shaping together, and the effect gets more extreme the further you push it.
Space sets the amount of reflections inside a simulated 3D space. Resonate controls resonant peaks that can ring out. For both, the character depends on which color profile is loaded.
The maker says these two controls drive the wider stereo image and the sense of depth.
The interface is vector-based and resizable. A live frequency spectrum sits on the right and shows what the signal is doing as it passes through the plugin.
AB comparison and copy/paste let you set two processing chains against each other, and undo/redo steps back through changes.
ChromaBox ships with a large set of factory presets for different genres and sources. The maker pitches them as starting points for your own settings.
On Windows, ChromaBox needs Windows 8 or later (64-bit only) and comes as VST2, VST3 and AAX. On Mac it needs macOS 10.13 or later (64-bit only) and comes as VST2, VST3, AAX and AU.
AAX works with Pro Tools 11 and higher only. If you run Apple Silicon, the maker points to a compatibility status page to review before buying.
W. A. Production describes itself as a team of working producers who build creative plugins for quick studio-quality processing.
Yes. The ChromaBox Black Friday deal is 60% off, which brings the plugin to $15.96 until Nov 29, 2026. It is the full spectrum exciter from W. A. Production, and the formats and requirements are the same as at regular price.

Depth scales all the other parameters with one control. Turning it up introduces saturation, 3D effects and frequency shaping together, and the effect grows more extreme the harder you push it, so the maker advises using it with care.
