AMS Reverb - the room sound
AMS delay - the pitch shift, where you set a really short stereo delay (one side 7ms, the other 10ms) and pitch one side down 3 cents and one side up 3 cents. A similar thing was done with eventide harmonisers, the old black one with the push buttons.
Lexicon 224 or even pcm60/80 - that tiled room sound on drums - woah.
Korg delays - ooh yeah sde2000 from memory, someone correct me....
Oh my god, I almost forgot - Dimension D on bass. A bit like a stereo chorus, but wider with a lot more hiss.

Gate the crap out of everything. I swear I saw people gatin hi hats.
Oh yeah, and if you can find an old akai 8 bit sampler, you are set.
Cheers,

I must still be in the 80's because i still do all of the above.
