Dusty Racks Vol. 2

There were a huge number of reverb processors created in the ‘80s and ‘90s: most of them are now almost forgotten, even though they sounded really interesting. For those reasons they are valuable tools for achieving unique sounds today.

Dusty Racks Vol. 2 has been created by capturing 6 of the most unique units:

• Yamaha REV500* (92 IRs)

• Alesis Midiverb* II (43 IRs)

• Lexicon 300* (129 IRs)

• Pioneer SR-101* (9 IRs)

• Roland DEP-5* (39 IRs)

• Korg DRV2000* (38 IRs)

IRs have been recorded using Neve and SSL preamps, and carefully edited all of the impulses to ensure they were consistent throughout the entire library.

A collection of 350 IRs and 207 individual presets

The presets have been created during real mix studio sessions with a particular focus on vocals, keyboards, synth, drums as well as acoustic instruments.

The impulses are divided into two banks: one bank made with single IR presets, designed to replicate the original vibe, and a second multi-layer bank where the presets combine two or more IRs from different units layered together, extending the tonal palette and creating some really unprecedented reverb spaces.
