Dusty Racks Vol. 3

500 IRs from six legendary reverberation units into a single library

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 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.
