In the same spirit as the Strictly Roots Reggae series, the Strictly Dub series is inspired by the experimentation, boundary-pushing use of effects such as delay/echo, wah-wah pedal, reverbs, phasers, and other related tools that helped shape and define a new genre of music created by Lee “Scratch” Perry & The Upsetters, King Tubby & Augustus Pablo, and Keith Hudson among them.

Strictly Dub Volume One brings some of these classic sounds and styles, reimaging them for today using a combination of outboard effects units and plugin emulations. Inside the pack, you’ll find three different tempos (79, 81, 132 BPM) and grooves, with sweet melodic organ riffs, bouncing combo skanks, bubblin’ organs, heavy basslines and rolling drum grooves, ready to create your new track or layer into an existing one.

Effects used in the creation of this sample pack include spring reverb, phasers, echoes/delays, wah-wah, and rotary speaker.

Please note: all the loops you hear were performed live, especially the basslines, organs, melodic riffs, and percussion. This means that they are not overly quantized. Some of the FX versions were dubbed live and not quantized to sync perfectly. They are meant to be ‘live’ and layered into your projects.
