HoRNet WahWah: The Digital Replica of a Vintage Guitar Effect
HoRNet is excited to announce the release of WahWah, another addition to our guitar effect collection. This plugin is a digital replica of a vintage effect from the 70s, made famous by guitarists and keyboard players around the world. With its unmistakable sound, the WahWah pedal became a legendary effect, particularly in funky music, and now it’s available in digital format, ready to be used in your productions.
The HoRNet WahWah faithfully emulates the wah effect of a classic pedal. Originally developed in the late 60s and widely used in the 70s, the wah became one of the most iconic effects in music history. With its characteristic “swoosh” sound, the wah pedal was used to create expressive effects, from rock to funk music and even modern soundscapes. HoRNet has perfectly recreated the sound of the WahWah pedal, and this plugin allows you to access that legendary sound with ease.
HoRNet’s team carefully studied the original circuit diagram of the wah pedal and then digitally replicated it. This thorough analysis led to the creation of a digital version that is remarkably faithful to the original, preserving all the sonic features and nuances that made the WahWah pedal iconic. The digital simulation fits perfectly into your production environment, offering excellent performance without compromising sound quality. This means you can enjoy the authentic and versatile wah pedal sound, all without the need for physical hardware.
The circuit simulation has been carried out with precision to ensure that all characteristics of the original pedal—from frequency response to the “pressure” feel in the sound—are accurately reproduced. With this digital version, you can experience the sound of a wah pedal that has shaped music history and bring it to your recording studio.
One of the most interesting features of the HoRNet WahWah is the built-in envelope follower. This component allows you to modulate the wah effect dynamically, responding to the intensity of the sound being fed into the plugin. The envelope follower is a mechanism that adjusts the amount of wah applied based on the attack of the sound. In other words, you can set the wah to be more pronounced with a quick attack and less pronounced with softer sounds.
The real strength of this feature is that you can adjust both the attack and release of the envelope follower independently. This means you can achieve a fully customizable wah effect that perfectly matches your style and playing technique. If you want an “auto-wah” effect, where the wah automatically activates based on the sound dynamics, the envelope follower allows you to do so with great precision.
This feature makes the HoRNet WahWah incredibly versatile, allowing you to add more dynamic and natural wah nuances to your music. You no longer need to manually engage the pedal during performance; simply set your desired parameters and let the envelope follower do the work for you.
The HoRNet WahWah is not just a faithful recreation of the vintage pedal; it also offers a range of advanced features that allow you to further customize the sound. Thanks to its simple and intuitive interface, you can easily adjust parameters such as the center frequency of the wah effect, the width of the curve, and the depth of the effect. Each adjustment lets you shape the sound more precisely, helping you achieve the perfect wah for your mix.
Additionally, you can modify the intensity of the envelope follower to gain full control over the sound dynamics. Whether you’re looking for a subtle wah for a delicate passage or an aggressive wah for a solo, the HoRNet WahWah provides the freedom to explore a wide variety of sounds and create the effect that best suits your music.
The sound quality of the HoRNet WahWah is simply impeccable. Despite being a digital plugin, the sound it produces is warm, dynamic, and realistic—just like that of an analog wah pedal. The ability to emulate the vintage pedal sound with high accuracy allows you to achieve that distinctive “wah tone” that has been used in countless legendary tracks throughout the years.
The plugin is designed to deliver top-notch performance, ensuring low latency and immediate response. It doesn’t matter if you’re using an electric guitar, a keyboard, or any other instrument; the HoRNet WahWah responds promptly to input changes, providing a smooth, uninterrupted musical experience.
The HoRNet WahWah is compatible with all major DAWs and plugin formats, including VST, VST3, Audio Units, and AAX. It works seamlessly on both Windows and macOS platforms, making it a great choice for music producers and guitarists at any level. The plugin is affordably priced at €12.99, making it an economical yet highly effective solution for anyone looking for a high-quality wah effect without having to purchase physical hardware.
If you’re a fan of funk, rock, or any genre that benefits from the wah effect, the HoRNet WahWah is a must-have in your collection of virtual instruments. Its faithful reproduction of the original 70s wah sound, combined with modern features like the envelope follower and dynamic control, makes it one of the most versatile and powerful effects available.
