Allpassphase

Consider a bass guitar recording. Due to microphone placement or preamp distortion, the waveform might be asymmetrical (more positive voltage than negative, or vice versa). By applying a specific rotation (usually 90° at the fundamental frequency), an engineer can balance the waveform without changing the sound's tone. This gives up to +3 dB of extra headroom before clipping.

It uses all-pass filters to create a phase shift, which "smears" the sound without altering its frequency response. the plugin or see examples of the settings used for that "laser" sound? AllPassPhase VST - GitHub allpassphase
