Studio Reverbs from the ’80s and ’90s Classics

 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.
