It's delay you want not reverb. You could use some reverb in conjunction but
it very quickly becomes too muddy. Yamaha reverb units feature an algorithm

patent on it. But essentially speaking you are after a single delay. It's
the most basic thing you can do with vocal effects.

Hope this helps.

Be absolutely Icebox.
