SHAPER Analog Tone Filter

Sometimes your tone doesn’t need more gain. It needs a completely different shape.

SHAPER is a fully analog tone filter designed to take a familiar instrument sound and push it into a different space.

Narrower.

Smaller.

Sharper.

Stranger.

And sometimes exactly what the song needs.

Not an EQ. Not a modeler. A tone-shaping instrument of its own.

Three voices

SHAPER gives you three distinct analog filter characters.

HORN

Focused and mid-forward.

A compact voice that pulls attention toward the center of the spectrum and gives riffs or melodic lines a different place in the mix.

PHONE

Narrow, direct and unmistakably filtered.

Think old telephone lines, small speakers and deliberately restricted bandwidth.

Perfect when a full-range guitar sound is simply too polite.

RADIO

A more extreme tonal perspective.

Thin, colored and intentionally unconventional — useful for parts that need to feel like they are coming from somewhere else.

Shape it further

The filter control lets you change how strongly the selected voice affects the signal.

That means the modes aren’t just three fixed presets.

They are starting points.

You can move from a relatively open filtered sound toward something much narrower and more dramatic.

LEVEL then lets you place the effect where it belongs in your signal chain without the tonal transformation automatically deciding the output volume for you.

Why use it?

Because not every guitar part needs to sound huge.

Sometimes you want to:

• make an intro feel smaller before the full band arrives
• create contrast between verse and chorus
• build layered guitar parts without stacking identical frequency ranges
• make a rhythm track cut through differently
• create a vintage communication-device texture
• turn one guitar into something that no longer sounds like “just another guitar”

SHAPER is especially useful when arranging music.

Instead of adding another effect on top of your sound, you can simply remove the frequencies you don’t need and let the part occupy its own space.

Less spectrum can create more character.

No digital shortcuts

There are no impulse responses.

No speaker simulations.

No presets.

No screen showing you what the pedal thinks an old radio should sound like.

The transformation happens with real analog filtering inside the circuit.

And you hear the result immediately.
