Jake, does the processor have a good equalizer? and have you messed with e-q-ing the sound to slightly favor those frequencies that enhance the tone? The reverb should help in filling out the sound some, but as Johnny has stated you don’t need much. I’m not one to help much on this topic, but wanted to mainly see if you had used the EQ in your experimenting…

Hi Jake,
Good for you to get a Vocal processor, can’t go wrong there. Sounds like you’re headed in the right direction. Generally speaking, we wanna make sure these features like Delay & Reverb don’t overshadow our own performance. That old saying that less is more is a good rule to follow–use these things as a means to enhance your performance v.s. going crazy with these effects. Some guys rely too much on them and when we go too aggressive with these effects, it can actually turn people off. The best thing you can do is like you said to have a friend over and experiment. Your guitar playing friend would be the ideal guy to listen to you.

There is no one perfect reverb setting, it all depends upon the room you are playing in, most will have natural reverb, some can be like mud, and you will need to use the equalizer as well. Some rooms are harder/brighter and others are darker, you have to adjust. The same settings will sound different in one room to another. My rule of thumb is to knock the highs down a bit, boost the mids a touch and leave the bass alone (if you only have those controls, if you have more, season to taste), and add in a touch of reverb, and then wait for the audience to ask tell you why they can’t hear you because the drummer is bashing his brains out and the guitar and bass are turned up to 12. 😉
