The WideFire Black Friday deal from United Plugins is 83% off, bringing this saturation plugin to $5 until Nov 29, 2026.
WideFire is an analogue-style saturator with a stereo widener built into the saturation path. United Plugins pulled the feature out of DarkFire after users asked for it.
The plugin saturates your audio first. The harmonics it adds are then split away from the original signal.
A widening algorithm is applied to those harmonics alone, and they are blended back in with the original audio. The maker says this gives a natural stereo field with strong mono compatibility.
It can also build stereo content from a mono source, according to United Plugins.
The maker points to vocals, guitars and synths as the obvious targets for added width. It also lists these jobs:
The aim, per United Plugins, is a wider and more immersive sound without clarity loss or unwanted artefacts.
The interface is a photorealistic 3D hardware look. Drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to resize it, smaller to save screen space or larger for easier control.
