LiquidShaper

For Wild Jet-Plane Flanging and Deep, Lush Phasing

What is LiquidShaper?

Dive deep into sound design! LiquidShaper gives you wild jet-plane flanging and deep, lush phasing in one multiband Shaper effect. With easily editable LFOs, design any movement you can imagine — from soothing stereo sweeps to monstrous robotic comb filter FX.

Running inside Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 effects plugin, use LiquidShaper on its own or with other Shapers — they all work in exactly the same way, stacking up to create elaborate, multilayered effects that'll make your productions stand out.

Future Flanger

Based on ultra-short delays, Flanger mode gives you everything from awesome jet-plane swooshes to gritty robotic comb-filtering.

Fluid Phaser

With up to 16 stages, for fluid, bubbling phasing. From soft and gentle to thick, lush and resonant.

Waveforms That You Design

Get amazing modulations and design wild patterns in seconds with a drawable LFO for the Centre and Feedback parameters. Sync it to your song, trigger with MIDI, or even with audio transients.

Follows Any Rhythm

Trigger your flanging and phasing patterns in any rhythm at all using MIDI. Or use powerful new audio triggering that tightly tracks the rhythm of drums, loops, instruments – even full mixes.

Reacts To Dynamics

Analogue-like Envelope Followers give you funky talking phasers and gritty reactive flanging that tightly tracks the dynamics of any signal.

Multiband Power

Put a phaser on the bass and a flanger on the tops! All 3 bands get their own LFOs and Envelope Followers.

Mighty Modes

Get more sonic options! Flip the feedback polarity for rich or hollow flanging, peaked or notched phasing.

Go Wide!

Expand your stereo field with a funky Stereo parameter that offsets the Centre frequency in each speaker.
