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.
