I often filter the delays- pan them too. HP or BP filter usually lets the lead vox stay out front and keeps the delay from cramping other spaces. Sometimes I use the delay for a faux stereo image. Other times I slightly detune a mult to make a stereo image (original panned hard opposite of the pitched copy) and this creates some phase-shift. Works well with mono drum samples. Other times I'll mix in ever so slightly, a .5- 3 second reverb and compress that with a long release time (this lets a nice room sound swell out after the source if done correctly). Usually just a tinge of verb can be heard (I personally loathe the overuse of reverb).
