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

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

Yamaha REV7* (40 IRs)
Alesis Quadraverb* 2 (60 IRs)
Lexicon ALEX* (50 IRs)
Roland SRV-2000* (54 IRs)
Roland DEP-3* (50 IRs)
Dynacord DRP15* (80 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 334 IRs and 208 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.
