What a strange thing to say.
I can have 4 or more delays on the board and be totally cool with it, but reverbs? A really good one is enough.

Makes sense to me... Reverb is supposed to be the sound of the environment. It’s logical to keep it consistent.

Proper bpm can be important (CBS and goroth have ruined me).

Yeah this.
"Can anyone hear the difference in a band mix?" is a question I now force myself to ask when getting a new piece of gear or deciding to flip old stuff. Not that it isn't fun to try gear for the sake of trying gear if you acknowledge what you're doing. But I'm trying to keep to a more rationalised setup

Go back to TGP, heretic!
Okay, I get how that works for some people. But I don’t really care about realistic rooms or authentic spring reverb sounds to satisfy boring cork sniffers. I like reverbs that do weird things to the sound and to shift between different odd reverbs and change the “space” the sound is working through to be odder.

a balance has to be struck between sound of a thing and the, uhhh, [can't quite find exact word] ergonomics? hands-on-ness? manipulatability? tactility? of a piece of gear. like, i have owned a belle epoch, a CB echorec and a boonar. they all sound lovely, i can even imagine someone who prefers the sound of the CB echorec over the more expensive boonar, but i can put my hands on the boonar and make it do what i want without thinking too much. even though the people out front don't give a shit whether they're hearing my boonar or a goddamn NUX, the fact i am better at driving the boonar means that i do a better job.
