一个充满个性、低保真空间效果处理器，是让吉他音效变得巨大无比的秘密武器。它同样非常适合增强混音的立体声空间，增加温暖感和低频厚重感。

一个让扬声器声音更大的小塑料盒
最初的 WOW Thing 售价 20 美元，能够让廉价的扬声器听起来更加宽广饱满。它通过极端均衡处理以及一些奇特的心理声学处理（包括延迟和相位）来实现这个效果。它确实有效，但表现得怪异且古怪，绝对称不上是专业音频设备……直到一位著名摇滚音响工程师发现它对吉他音效有惊人的提升效果，并将其用于录制世界上最具影响力和成功的金属专辑之一。WOW Thing 由此成为许多标志性专辑中的“秘密调味料”。

行业秘密，如今已是插件
Dan Korneff 十五年前买到了一个 WOW Thing，并将它作为吉他处理中的重要工具。然而，他想把它应用到背景人声和混响中，而原版的设备已难以找到。因此，他重现了它，现在它已成为一款插件。

把 WOW Thing 想象成一个声学“拥抱”：每当你希望让声音超越普通立体声的界限时，WOW Thing 就是你要找的那件神器。

如果你在寻找奇特的低保真音效，WOW Thing 就是你廉价塑料制成的好朋友，现在它以方便的插件形式出现。

增加空间、低频和混乱感
简单的控制让你轻松为立体声轨道增加空间感：只需调高 WOW 旋钮。

任何通过 WOW Thing 的立体声音源都会超越扬声器的局限。在极端设置下，WOW Thing 会加入大量的心理声学运动和混乱，甚至让你感到眩晕！它的效果如此极致。

TrueBass 是一项低频增强功能，可以为你的音轨增添深度和震动感。轻轻调节可以使声音更厚重，或者将其调到最大，产生独特的低频效果。

超越原版
如果没有更多可调选项，它就不是 Korneff Audio 的插件了。

点击铭牌，打开盖子，访问原版设备上没有的额外选项。

可以从两种不同的 WOW 效果中进行选择。选择 TYPE 1 来获得原桌面单元的声音，或者选择 TYPE 2 来体验稀有的 SRS Megawide 机架单元的增强算法。

Korneff Audio WOW Thing 还提供了可选的 TrueBass 处理频率。你可以使用此功能来调整低频响应，以适应你的素材和混音需求。仅此一项功能就使 Korneff Audio WOW Thing 变得更加多才多艺。

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.

A little plastic box that made speakers sound bigger.

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.

An industry secret, now a plug-in.

Dan Korneff managed to buy a WOW Thing fifteen years ago and it became a staple of his guitar processing. However, he wanted to use it on background vocals and reverbs, and the original boxes are hard to come by. So he recreated it and now it’s available as a plug-in.

Think of WOW Thing as an acoustic hug: anytime you want a sound to stretch beyond the confines of the normal stereo field, the WOW Thing is the thing.

If you’re looking for freaky Lo-Fi mystery, the WOW Thing is your cheap plastic friend, now in convenient plug-in form.

Add space, bass and chaos

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.

Beyond the Original

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.
