King Tubby used old nasty metallic reverbs as well. He used many different
spring and chamber reverbs in alot of his productions. Some homemade, some not.

Well, i dunno about that. A decent tape delay can easily be had for under $200
without much effort. That might get you close to a low end LXP unit, but just
barely. And why buy a lexicon if you want a tape delay? OR Vise-versa for that
matter?

There is something to be said for that to be sure. But of course there is also
something to be said about making great music with an empty room except for a
few inexpensive pieces of gear. I respect good music if it is made in hans
Zimmer's studio or with Licoln Logs and a mic. 8)
