ToneShaper
Simple, easy to use passive tone and body control plug-in!
While passive design causes around 20dB gain loss, covered with clean boost. No non-linear elements to color your signal. Fully passive tone control!
FEATURES
- TONE : Odd shaped, high-shelf like tone control. Will make your source darker or brighter
- BODY : Shapes low-mid and mid frequencies. Will add or remove body from source
- OUTPUT : Clean output control
- I/O : Bypass
Resizable interface. Simple "Bottom Right Corner Handle" to resize. 50% to 200%.
*Resizing Tip: When you duplicate plug-in, it will remember current state of GUI size. But if you load new instance, it will be opened at default size. To get rid of this issue, simply follow these steps;
1. Open plug-in for the first time
2. Resize GUI according to your screen resolution or you liking before setting any knobs
3. Save this state as default preset with your DAW
Now, you will be able to load new instances with same size.
(If you want to go default size, simply double click to resize handle.)

Magnificent
I freaking love this plugin. It saved a project for me. I was struggling with dialing in a snare tone using a well known channel strip plugin. As a last resort I installed the Tone Shaper. I had my top and bottom snare tones sorted in seconds. Thanks so much for what you do!!! As an aside, please consider making your plugins available for Linux users. I'm sure that many engineers will be happy to use your plugins exclusively on that DAW.
This is excellent! It does what EQ cannot. I find the "body" control especially appealing in that that it thickens subtly without getting muddy. The "tone" control is also excellent on the condition you don't go nuts with it. I don't know what's going on under the hood and I don't really care. Almost ALL my plugin choices are now Analog Obsession. I can do an entire project with only these. If these were paid plugins they would still be a steal. My reaction when another AO plugin drops is Oh Boy, I can't wait to try it. Yeah, I'm a fanboy and unashamedly so.
ToneShaper is absolute gold! What a wonderful concept. I’ve measured it using noise and a spectrum analyser, and in itself I see less dramatic results than what I hear when I use ToneShaper on instruments and synths. To put together a really good mix, this is a brilliant tool to use on every channel. So much quicker and more effective than any channel strip plug-in. And the fact that the signal simply stays clean, with no saturation (!) is a relief in itself. The discovery of 2026
Thank you for all your work, it's incredible 🫶
Many thanks, Sir!
The download links don't seem to work. Also not in the recently sent e-mails containing download linbks for updates of other products.
Hi, just checked and all 3 links working. Maybe browser issue?
I’m an audio engineer. This is for me, one of my top tools of the year. Incredible results. Well done
Simple and effective. Much quicker for general tone shaping than a normal EQ and not as aggressive (or easy to overdo) as most tilt EQs. Very good for adding some presence to a muffled or dull sounding track. New goto in my setup.
