SpiritBox is not a delay plugin. It’s a haunted instrument for people who are tired of predictable effects.

Inspired by those ghost-in-the-machine moments that seem to happen the second the recording light comes on, SpiritBox is a highly programmable chaos machine built for haunted delays, spectral pitch movement, smeared intervallic repeats, tape-warped textures, and otherworldly audio journeys. It features three distinct modes — Regular, Expert, and Haunted — each designed to pull you deeper into the strange space between control and beautiful instability.

At its core are four meticulously curated Briarwave effect engines: a vintage tape-based delay, a custom intervallic + glitch algorithm with three interactive variations, three-, four-, and five-voice chorus textures, and a custom bit crusher designed to push your audio into lo-fi, spectral, and beautifully damaged territory.

But SpiritBox isn’t about stacking effects. It’s about summoning movement.

Delays can wobble like failing tape machines. Intervals can fracture into strange harmonic shadows. Glitches can bloom, smear, stutter, and reassemble themselves into something that feels half-composed and half-possessed. Choruses can widen into ghostly modulation fields. Bit-crushed textures can turn a clean signal into something that sounds discovered on a corrupted reel in another dimension.

Regular Mode gets you there fast. Expert Mode opens the machine and lets you program the chaos in detail. Haunted Mode is where SpiritBox starts feeling less like a plugin and more like a collaborator with questionable intentions.

Once you hear a track pass through SpiritBox — shifting, bending, smearing, glitching, and breathing back at you — ordinary delay, chorus, and pitch effects start to feel painfully earthbound.
