DEMO: All sounds (except the drums) were recorded directly from the SB-3 LE and SB-3 [full version] - as they have different presets - without any further processing of any kind. Only drum loops were processed (only effects created by Dr. Speaker Blower were used in this demo: 2 Vintage Q´s and 3 types of delays on busses used as send effects). Multi-band Imager plugin was used in the bass mix buss (to ensure that frequencies bellow 250 Hz were mono). At last, Speaker Blower VST limiter was inserted in the Master channel with 3 dB gain applied and an output ceiling of -0.2 dB. Just listen to this ultra phat sounds, download and watch your speakers!!!
