I second the KSP 8. The reverbs are so magical on vocals, my old Lexicons and T.C.'s have been gathering dust.
One thing I like to do at times on vocals is to overdrive compressors. Try an 1176 in front of an LA2A. Set the 1176 at a 4:1 ratio with a med input and high output feeding the LA. Then adjust the LA2A limiting to taste. You should get some cool emphasized harmonic distortion.
