  Don't worry Mike, I can evolve. When I first tried single malt, the kind that tastes like it was soaked in a wad of bandaid, in the same shed where they smoke meat, I couldn't believe people pay that much for something so deplorable. Now I can't get enough of the stuff, it's the best!

  I remember reading an interview with Jim Campilongo once in which he suggested that reverb makes an electric guitar sound more acoustic. I think what he meant is that a bit (or, in his case, a lot) of wetness can bring air and spaciousness to one's sound. Oh well. I like it. But I used to play a lot of surf music...

  Different strokes for everyone, but having dry tone isn't bad in this genre. I think people are more forgiving with lead instruments vs the rhythm section as well.

  The secret sauce with reverb is similar to compression and EQ: add enough effect until you notice it, then reduce the affect by a little bit. If you have to turn off the effect to really notice it, you're in a tasteful place.

  Edit: realized I just repeated @Lango-Django comment. I'll leave this here... But yea. Little goes a long way.

  I don't think anyone is prescribing what do to. The OP asked our opinion.
