Semi-Modular Multi-Effect
W. A. Production are always looking for clever ways to add movement and excitement to your tracks. However, it’s tiresome to keep loading up the same effects chains again and again. This is why they have created SphereQuad as an easy and extremely flexible solution for bringing complex rhythmic movement, filter sweeps and stereo madness to your mixes.
The concept behind SphereQuad is a combination of stereo flanger, phaser and chorus effects fed into a stereo filter, combined with an onboard step sequencer that controls the filter. However, the execution of these effects is far more interesting as you can control the left and right filters independently to push sound around the stereo field. The flexible routing between the different modules can be quickly dialled in to create a huge variety of special effects.
Each of the Flanger, Phaser and Chorus modules has multiple parameters for adjusting the main characteristics. The modules can be activated individually, or mixed and routed in various combinations to create a wall of unusual effects.
SphereQuad is incredibly useful for everything from adding to spacey synth leads to making bass lines wobble. W.A. Production have even dialled it in on full mixes to create DJ-style breakdowns with massive filter sweeps and extreme flanging. There’s no instrument W.A. Production hasn’t tried to transformed with SphereQuad and the effect is impressively huge every time. W. A. Production are real-life producers making creative plugins to help you achieve studio effects quickly and easily. Enjoy!

The 16 step sequencer controls the filter cutoff and can be synced to the BPM of your track or be set to flow completely independently. Feed the signal from the Flanger, Phaser and Chorus into this sequencer for ultimate rhythmic modulation.
Independent left and right channel filter shapes, speeds, ranges and types can be programmed to make the filtered sound fly around the stereo field, creating some mind-bending sequences at the click of a button.
The real-time waveform display shows the effect of the filter cutoff, giving visual feedback on the stereo effect of SphereQuad. Meanwhile, the master output module provides a Dry / Wet control and Saturation dial for increasing the odd harmonics and the overall intensity of the output.
Over 60 presets to act as perfect jumping-off points for your own creative ideas. They are logically named by instrument group and effect making it easy to find the descriptive definition of a particular effect.
