ShapeShifter + Tectonic Bundle Black Friday Deal 2026: $24, 33% off

The ShapeShifter Tectonic Black Friday deal bundles two Aberrant DSP effects plugins for $24, which is 33% off until Nov 30, 2026.

ShapeShifter is a dynamics remodeler and character compressor. Tectonic is a multi-band channel strip that combines EQ, imaging and dynamics.

Both plugins lean on upward and downward compression to change how a sound is shaped, rather than only turning peaks down.

What does ShapeShifter do?

The maker says ShapeShifter was inspired by the NR Comp algorithm from SketchCassette. Using several frequency bands, it can both squash and lift levels, which gives you a set of tools for building warmth, weight and texture.

The range runs from a subtle vibe boost to what the maker calls blown-open, raucous carnage.

The feature list:

• Upward and downward compression controlled by one shared Ratio
• A Transients section with its own Ratio and Threshold, giving separate control of the downward compression
• An upward compression Floor control for taming room sound or unwanted noise
• Attack and Release controls for envelope shaping
• A Tone control for broad shifts in colour and character
• A Drive control with two models: A (gentle) and B (hard)
• An Asymmetry control that brings in even-order harmonics for harsher, grittier drive
• A Dry / Wet mixer for parallel processing
• 64 factory presets

What does Tectonic do?

Tectonic is a toneshaping channel strip with four bands of upward and downward compression. The maker pitches it for anything from light sweetening to a full tonal rework.

The band behaviour depends on the direction you push it. Boosting a band applies upward and downward compression together, while cutting a band applies downward compression only.

Other features:

• Trim gain of -12 dB to 12 dB per band
• A selectable transition frequency between each pair of neighbouring bands
• Mute, Solo and processing Bypass on every band
• A Mid / Side panner per band, so each frequency range can be narrowed or widened on its own
• Master mix, input gain and output gain
• Six style selections that change the feel and intensity of the dynamics processing
• 65 factory presets

Formats and system requirements

On Windows 10 or later, both plugins come as 64-bit VST3 and AAX.

On macOS, they run from 10.12 Sierra through macOS 13 Ventura, on Intel or Apple Silicon, as 64-bit AU, VST3 and AAX.
