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.
