Cableguys is a Hamburg, Germany-based audio plugin developer founded in 2007 by Jakob Rang. The company grew out of Rang's hobby project Curve, a software synthesizer with a unique drawable waveform editor that he first released as a free prototype in 2005. After co-founder Steffen joined to help take the venture professional, Cableguys launched VolumeShaper — a multiband volume LFO plugin — which became one of their signature tools despite a slow initial start.

The company's flagship product is ShaperBox, a multi-effect plugin suite housing eleven individual "Shaper" modules including FilterShaper, TimeShaper, DriveShaper, CrushShaper, PanShaper, WidthShaper, NoiseShaper, ReverbShaper, LiquidShaper, PitchShaper, and VolumeShaper. Each module pairs high-quality processing with Cableguys' trademark drawable LFO curves for rhythmic, beat-synced modulation. Other standalone releases include HalfTime, a plugin dedicated to half-speed effects popular in trap and hip-hop production; Snapback, an instant drum layering tool; FilterShaper XL, a deep sound-design filter; and Nicky Romero Kickstart, a streamlined sidechain ducking plugin developed in collaboration with the Dutch DJ. Cableguys also offers PanCake, a free autopanner, and MidiShaper for routing LFOs and envelopes to external instruments via MIDI. Their tools have been adopted by producers and artists including David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, and 808 Mafia.

Cableguys has 35 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Filter Plugins, Multi-Effect Plugins, and Modulator Plugins. Their gear is featured by 79 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Rock. Notable users include Deniz Koyu, David Guetta, and Fred again...
