Cableguys released DriveShaper (€39), a versatile distortion effect in VST and AU plugin formats for digital audio workstation software on PC and Mac.
DriveShaper is the latest release from Cableguys, the company behind popular audio plugins like FilterShaper, HalfTime, and Nicky Romero Kickstart. Their plugins are focused on parameter modulation using custom curves and DriveShaper isn’t an exception in that regard.

Here’s how Cableguys describe DriveShaper:
From laser-focused harmonic warmth and sizzle to massively modulated mayhem that reacts and breathes in synergy with your music, DriveShaper does it all – and more. Animate any of 10 exciting shaping algorithms using easy, drawable LFOs and simple 1-slider Envelope Followers.
And here is the official demo/walkthrough video.
DriveShaper costs €39, but it is free for all existing Cableguys customers and Plugin Boutique users. Let’s take a closer look at how you can get DriveShaper for free.
Get DriveShaper For Free @ Cableguys
The newly released DriveShaper plugin is free for all existing Cableguys users. In other words, it’s free for everyone who already owned any Cableguys product before December 16th, 2020. If you’re a registered Cableguys user, check your user account and the DriveShaper plugin license should already be there.
DriveShaper in ShaperBox (the multi-effect plugin from Cableguys), so you can simply download the ShaperBox installer and use the ShaperBox license key to activate the plugin.
Get DriveShaper For Free @ Plugin Boutique
Earlier today, Plugin Boutique sent out free download codes for DriveShaper to all existing customers. If you purchased anything from Plugin Boutique in the past, check your email inbox and the DriveShaper freebie code should be waiting for you there (be sure to check the spam folder, too).
Plugin Boutique’s free download code for DriveShaper isn’t supposed to be shared publicly, so I won’t post it here. That said, you can check your favorite music production forum or other music production community and chances are that the code is already posted there.
