The ShaperBox 3 Black Friday deal is the Bundle upgrade for owners of both TimeShaper 3 and VolumeShaper 7, at $69 with 12% off, ending Dec 1, 2026.
ShaperBox 3 is a multi-effect plugin from Cableguys that puts eleven multiband Shaper effects in one interface. You draw a wave shape, and that shape controls the effect.
The upgrade route is for people who already own both TimeShaper 3 and VolumeShaper 7. The standard purchase path and a separate upgrade path for VolumeShaper 7 owners exist as other listings.
The eleven Shaper effects are:
Each one works across three frequency bands. The maker says this lets you sculpt a sound in detail, either applying focused enhancement or removing problem elements from a mix.
The maker describes it as CPU-efficient, even with all eleven effects in a single plugin.
Audio Triggering is the headline addition. Switch on Audio mode and the LFO restarts with each transient, so the plugin can follow the rhythm of drums, basslines, melodies or a full mix. It has three algorithms: Drums, General and Complex.
An External Sidechain Input lets you trigger from another track. That covers ducking a bass from a kick that is not 4x4, or firing a bitcrush pattern on a synth every time the snare hits.
VolumeShaper gets a Sidechain View that overlays the external kick on your bassline, so you can draw a ducking curve to match its contour.
PitchShaper is a drawable pitch shifter with four algorithms: Complex, Vocals, Drums and Vintage. The maker pitches it at smooth vocal transposition, formant shifts, stepped patterns, risers and glitched drums.
LiquidShaper combines flanging and phasing in one effect. Centre and Feedback can be modulated independently across the three bands, with 4, 8, 12 or 16 phasing stages and a positive/negative feedback mode.
The waveform editor has a pointer tool that puts the key functions under left-click. You can add angled breakpoints, bend a section into a curve, and select and manipulate stretches of the wave. Waveforms sync to beats and bars, from 1/4-note pumping to multi-bar patterns.
The new browser has categories and fast filtering for finding presets. The multiband Compressor is now a separate tool you can insert anywhere in the Shaper chain.
A reworked Master Mix algorithm blends dry to wet without multiband phasing artefacts, and a master Bypass button switches to the dry signal without clicks. Envelope Followers have an improved Adaptive Release mode.
Also included: VolumeShaper lookahead pre-smoothing for click-free MIDI and audio sidechaining, a Dynamic Treble control in CrushShaper, a time offset display in TimeShaper, and a redesigned interface with larger editing areas.
Yes. The upgrade from TimeShaper 3 + VolumeShaper 7 to the ShaperBox 3 Bundle is 12% off at $69, with the deal ending Dec 1, 2026. It is only for owners of both TimeShaper 3 and VolumeShaper 7.
Existing owners of both TimeShaper 3 and VolumeShaper 7. The standard ShaperBox 3 purchase and a separate upgrade path for VolumeShaper 7 owners are listed as their own offers.
Eleven multiband Shaper effects: Volume, Time, Drive, Filter, Crush, Noise, Pan, Width, Liquid, Reverb and the new Pitch. Each has three frequency bands, and you draw the wave shape that controls it.
With Audio mode switched on, the LFO restarts at each transient, so effects follow the rhythm of any sound. It offers Drums, General and Complex algorithms, and an External Sidechain Input to trigger from another track.
