I got tired of the 480 sound and changed to a couple of T.C. M6000s

Those VSS4 verbs are just fantastic aren't they. I had a vocal with very little compression and eq on a track of mine that I remixed ITB recently. When I heard the track dry, I couldn't believe how weak the vocal sound was (compared with the final mix). The VSS4 chamber preset (slightly tweaked) just made it sound absolutely massive. so much so that I had to do a lot more compression and EQ work the build the vocal when I remixed it without the benefit of the Reverb 4000 that I had.
Another great thing about those VSS4 verbs and the Rev 4 is that they can be made really obvious (as I like them
) but not still not be like treacle.
I guess you are using them a bit more sparingly though!

I always added the final effects in the mix

Did you find that the guitarist were always happy to go along with this? I remember hearing that Alex Lifeson of Rush took a lot of persuading before he recorded without fx.
With regard to your again superb work on Skid Row's first album, would you have been using the 480L for you long verbs on that album, say on 18 & life?
Were Sebastian's dynamic vocals a challenge to record or was a pleasure (assuming the compressor was set to 'evasive action mode) ?
Did anyone from Bon Jovi turn up at the sessions to offer creative input?
I'm looking forward to hearing that Kings X album...better let you get back to it!
Thanks again Michael.
