CLA Effects Black Friday pricing puts 69% off this multi-effect plugin, so it costs $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
CLA Effects was designed with mixer Chris Lord-Alge, whose credits include Foo Fighters, Bowie and Nine Inch Nails. It packs distortion, two types of delay, pitch processing, reverb and more into one plugin for the moments when basic processing is not enough.
The maker pitches it at effects buses and tracks.
The plugin gives you 6 effects, each with its own amount fader, plus 3 different FX modes. The maker lists vocal adlibs and filtering on instruments among the intended jobs.
The range runs from lo-fi fuzz and dub-style delay to tape flanging and wide stereo. There is also a novel EQ for polishing a sound or adding something unexpected.
Left/right balance and sensitivity controls sit alongside these.
All tempos match the session BPM, so you are not typing in delay times by hand.
A switchable Direct mode lets you run CLA Effects on a bus or straight on a track. Put it on a send for parallel effects, or insert it directly when you want the whole signal processed.
Chris Lord-Alge describes the range this way: "Filtered vocal? Check. Telephone FX? Check. John Lennon 'I Am the Walrus' vocal distortion? Check and double-check." He also lists multiple delays with tape phasing, and reverb, tape slap and long echo all at once.
That one-plugin approach means a lo-fi vocal chain, a phased delay stack or a filtered adlib does not need a separate plugin for each stage.
On Mac, CLA Effects supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes in VST and AAX formats.
Yes, the CLA Effects Black Friday deal takes 69% off, bringing the plugin to $29.99. The offer runs until Nov 26, 2026. It is the multi-effect plugin Waves built with mixer Chris Lord-Alge.
CLA Effects has 6 effects, including 3 distortion flavors, short and long delays, a chorus, widening and tape flanging section, an EQ with a telephone effect, and 3 reverbs: Room, Hall and Canyon. Pitch processing is part of the range too.
The throw switch sends a momentary signal into the long delay, which the maker describes as a novel way to get expressive delay. You hit it only on the words or hits you want echoed, instead of leaving the delay on.
CLA Effects comes as VST, AU and AAX on Mac, running on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. On Windows 10 or later it comes as VST and AAX.
