I never changed my reverb setting. I had exactly one setting.

But, I know I sort of said the same above; it really is about a more natural sound and if you keep it subtle to the point where the sound is better but you can't exactly identify that it's reverb, then you probably don't need to change it...no matter the hall size.

In my personal opinion, these effects have power when you can't really tell when they're there but you can absolutely tell when they aren't.

If that is the case, you wouldn't need to crank the reverb down.

Some people use huge amounts of reverb or delay/echo on purpose (Dick Dale anyone?). It is part of a signature but in general, when you push it, you should have a purpose for doing it that way.
