WettBoi presets: the factory bank and new recipes

WettBoi ships with a factory bank of presets, each one setting every control, so loading one gives you the whole sound, not just a few knob positions. Open the preset menu at the top of the plug-in to load one, then adjust Mix and the ducking to your track.

Below: what each factory preset is for and the settings that define it, then new recipes you can dial in by hand.

The factory bank

Dotted Ping Pong

The classic dotted-eighth, now that the note buttons actually reach the engine. Left straight, right dotted, so it walks across the stereo field.

• Reverb: Type Room, Decay 1.8 s, Size 45 %, Pre-delay 12 ms, Rev wet 35 %, Rev HP 150 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -20 dB, Attack 2 ms, Hold 55 ms, Release 220 ms

Wide Sixteenths

Sixteenth triplet feel from a straight sixteenth on one side and an eighth on the other: a wide, busy tail that still ducks out of the kick.

• Reverb: Type Plate, Decay 1 s, Size 30 %, Pre-delay 6 ms, Rev wet 45 %, Rev HP 250 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -22 dB, Attack 1 ms, Hold 70 ms, Release 140 ms
• Delay: Sync on, Note L 1/16, Note R 1/8, Feedback 38 %, Ping-pong on, Dly wet 55 %
• Global: Routing Parallel, Mix 50 %, LFO off

Gated Tail

Reverb only, cut to almost nothing on every kick and let back in between. Fast attack, long hold, quick release: the tail breathes on the offbeat.

• Reverb: Type Hall, Decay 3.5 s, Size 70 %, Pre-delay 14 ms, Rev wet 85 %, Rev HP 120 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -28 dB, Attack 0.3 ms, Hold 140 ms, Release 90 ms
• Delay: off
• Global: Routing Parallel, Mix 55 %, LFO off

Delay Into Verb

Everything through the delay first, then into the reverb, so the repeats themselves get a tail. Heavy, and the ducking keeps it out of the kick.

• Reverb: Type Hall, Decay 4.5 s, Size 75 %, Pre-delay 20 ms, Rev wet 70 %, Rev HP 90 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -20 dB, Attack 2 ms, Hold 80 ms, Release 320 ms
• Delay: Sync on, Note L d1/8, Note R 1/4, Feedback 45 %, Ping-pong on, Dly wet 60 %
• Global: Routing Dly into Rev, Mix 55 %, LFO off

Dry Ping Pong

Delay only. Every preset above leaves the reverb on, so there was no starting point for someone who wants the echo and nothing else.

• Reverb: off
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -26 dB, Attack 0.8 ms, Hold 35 ms, Release 160 ms
• Delay: Sync on, Note L d1/8, Note R d1/8, Feedback 38 %, Ping-pong on, Dly wet 55 %
• Global: Routing Parallel, Mix 100 %, LFO off

Uptempo Slam

180 BPM and up: everything short, so the tail is gone before the next kick lands instead of piling up into mud.

• Reverb: Type Room, Decay 0.8 s, Size 28 %, Pre-delay 4 ms, Rev wet 40 %, Rev HP 320 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -30 dB, Attack 0.3 ms, Hold 15 ms, Release 80 ms
• Delay: off
• Global: Routing Parallel, Mix 100 %, LFO off

Tape Echo

A saturated, wobbling quarter-note echo. The feedback path drives into soft clipping, which is the part that sounds like tape.

• Reverb: off
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -22 dB, Attack 1.5 ms, Hold 45 ms, Release 240 ms
• Delay: Sync on, Note L 1/4, Note R 1/4, Feedback 58 %, Ping-pong off, Dly wet 45 %
• Global: Routing Parallel, Mix 100 %, LFO off

Vocal Duck

A plate behind a vocal, ducked by the kick so it sits back without disappearing. Slower attack and release than the kick presets, because a vocal does not want the tail snapping shut on every beat.

• Reverb: Type Plate, Decay 2 s, Size 58 %, Pre-delay 24 ms, Rev wet 38 %, Rev HP 240 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -22 dB, Attack 2 ms, Hold 50 ms, Release 260 ms
• Delay: Sync on, Note L d1/8, Note R d1/8, Feedback 18 %, Ping-pong on, Dly wet 22 %
• Global: Routing Parallel, Mix 100 %, LFO off

Spring Snap

Snares and claps: a short bright spring, high-passed well clear of the kick so it adds crack without thickening the low end.

• Reverb: Type Spring, Decay 1.1 s, Size 35 %, Pre-delay 2 ms, Rev wet 42 %, Rev HP 500 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -24 dB, Attack 0.4 ms, Hold 20 ms, Release 110 ms
• Delay: off
• Global: Routing Parallel, Mix 100 %, LFO off

Build Sweep

The reverb opens and closes on a slow LFO. For the eight bars before a drop, where the space growing is the whole effect.

• Reverb: Type Hall, Decay 6 s, Size 85 %, Pre-delay 20 ms, Rev wet 40 %, Rev HP 200 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -26 dB, Attack 1 ms, Hold 40 ms, Release 200 ms
• Delay: off
• Global: Routing Parallel, Mix 100 %, LFO on, LFO target Rev wet

Room Then Echo

Reverb first, then its tail echoed. The rev_to_dly direction only had one preset, and this is the one that shows what the ordering buys you.

• Reverb: Type Hall, Decay 3.4 s, Size 70 %, Pre-delay 18 ms, Rev wet 45 %, Rev HP 280 Hz
• Ducking: Key own input, Threshold -28 dB, Attack 0.6 ms, Hold 50 ms, Release 220 ms
• Delay: Sync on, Note L 1/4, Note R 1/4, Feedback 26 %, Ping-pong on, Dly wet 30 %
• Global: Routing Rev into Dly, Mix 100 %, LFO off
