Yep, as I mentioned there are *lots* of good reverbs out there, and I think that's one key ingredient that's catching our OPs attention. The Strymon BigSky is good. The newish Strymon CoudBurst is very cool. What I use is the UAD Golden Reverberator, which basically gives you UA's studio reverbs in a pedal. I recently tried Walrus Audio's R1, and tho I ultimately decided to stick with the UAD pedal, it was very impressive and very expansive sounding. I think this is the pedal Trevor Gordon Hall is using live, and he is always awash in really massive sounding reverb. There are others. The Eventide pedals are great, probably 20 more out there. No lack of good reverbs these days.
All of these reverbs sound best in stereo, adding that extra dimensionality that is another key ingredient, and that has implications for the sound system, the room acoustics of the performance space, the seating arrangement (so the audience actually hears the stereo and not just one side) and so on.
