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 Vol. 3 has been created by capturing 6 of the most unique units:

Yamaha REV5* (88 IRs)

Lexicon MPX1* (35 IRs)

Lexicon LXP-15* (49 IRs)

Roland SRV330* (222 IRs)

Roland R-880* (76 IRs)

Boss RV2* (30 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 500 IRs and 200 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.
