I'm shocked no one has mentioned jack_convolve, or dssi_convolve yet.
A truly wonderful reverb that works well on everything with the right
choice of impulse. Though i haven't tried it that much on vocals. It's
by far the best sounding reverb i've ever heard and is all round
wonderful ;-). It's actually not that heavy on cpu either.
