Korneff Audio have released WOW Thing, a spatial enhancement processor, available at the intro price of $9.99, increasing to $19.99 after the promotion.
WOW Thing is a quirky lo-fi spatial effects processor that’s a secret weapon for huge-sounding guitars. It’s also great for enhancing the stereo space of your mixes and creating warmth and bottom.
The Original WOW Thing was $20 and made cheap speakers sound more spacious and full. It achieved this effect by using radical equalization and some bizarre psychoacoustic processing using delays and phase. It worked, but it was weird and quirky. Definitely NOT a pro-audio device… until a major rock engineer discovered that it did amazing things to guitars when he recorded one of the most influential and successful metal albums on the planet. The WOW Thing became the secret sauce on many iconic albums.

Simple controls make it easy to add spaciousness to your stereo tracks: Just turn up the WOW knob.
Any stereo source fed through the WOW Thing moves out beyond the speakers. At extreme settings, the WOW Thing adds so much psychoacoustic movement and confusion that it can actually make you feel motion sick! It’s that extreme an effect.
TrueBass is a low-frequency enhancement that adds depth and rumble to your tracks. Add just a touch to thicken a sound or crank it up for unique low-end effects.
It wouldn’t be a Korneff Audio plug-in if there weren’t extra things to tweak.
Click on the nameplate to “lift off” the cover and access options that weren’t on the original unit.
Choose from two different WOW effects. Select TYPE 1 for the sonics of the original tabletop unit, or TYPE 2 for the enhancement algorithms of the obscure SRS Megawide rackmount unit.
The Korneff Audio WOW Thing also has selectable frequencies for the TrueBass processor. Use this to tailor the low-end response to suit your material and mix. This feature alone makes the Korneff Audio WOW Thing much more versatile.
WOW Thing is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
