Little Microshift by Soundtoys is one of the best stereo widening plugins. It can be used on vocals (specifically background vocals), and other elements. If you want to make a lead sound or a lead guitar sound larger, wider, and better, then I'll highly recommend this plugin.
Little MicroShift gives you three different flavors of a classic stereo widening trick at the push of a button. It is designed to use a special pitch shifting and delay that varies over time to create rich stereo width. It’s incredibly simple to use and perfect for spicing up sound and or instruments, or for blending background vocals subtly into a mix.
MicroShift captures the quirks of the originals including saturation and even the different de-glitching algorithms used by these units. So now you can have the big, wide sound of the original hardware with a simple and refined interface that makes getting those tried-and-true sounds faster and easier than ever.
Note: This is the mini version, if you want more control such as precise control over delay time, variable detune amount, and unique multiband focus control.
