having just purchased a lexicon pcm90 (rather expensive box that does
only reverb) i have seen the problem - most people have cheap reverbs
with nasty metallic gunky algorithms. with the lexicon i can have
huge cavernous whipery angelic reverbs that go on and on for days yet
don't clog up the mix. the difference is truly amazing.
a lot of it comes down to engineering. distortion sounds good and
hard and also covers up bad engineering. using it right is a tricky
business. i like to contrast distorted layers with super squeaky
clean layers. all of one thing is like cake without frosting.
