01Overview

OneKnob Wetter takes a single control and blends delay, reverb and brightness together. Low settings add subtle delays that place a sound in a space, while higher settings bring in more reverb for a room or hall character. Waves describes the plugin as carrying the heritage of its high-end reverbs, packed into one knob. It is aimed at producers who want depth and spread without opening a full reverb plugin.

Sound and Character Across the Knob Range

Turning the single knob moves OneKnob Wetter through a series of changes. Early in the range, the plugin adds short delays that widen a sound and create a sense of space. Further up, reverb takes over and gives a room-like character. At the top of the range, less delay is used and the reverb space becomes much larger, which is where the cathedral-scale sound comes from.

Waves says the result can range from enhancing vocals to a gauzy, detailed expansiveness. Because the control is continuous, you can stop at any point between these extremes and dial in the amount of ambience you need.

Workflow as an Insert Effect

OneKnob Wetter is designed to be used as an insert effect, so it can be loaded directly onto a track and adjusted right away. Waves says this layout is meant to speed up workflow, with no setup beyond loading the plugin and turning the knob.

The plugin is a true stereo reverb rather than a mono reverb with synthesized stereo added afterward. It can also create stereo reverb images from mono sources, which suits single-channel instruments and vocals that need width.
