What do you guys add or cut to the reverb bus regarding eq?

There is no best answer to this question. It all depends on the mix. I know that is not helpful, but that is sort of like asking, "What guitar is the best guitar?" Although, I hear a lot of people adding in annoying high frequencies in "mastering" using reverb like doofuses. So, just be careful to not accentuate any frequencies that are already hot. Then let your ears guide you. How is that for a non-answer? 8)

Hey now, there's occassionally a use for filtered reverb in mastering...
I've done a job for a client that did entirely sample drums. Using a well filtered reverb, I was able to add life to his otherwise dead and boring cymbals. The trick was to keep it simple and moderate.

I'm with the other posters though -
That's a very general question. I try to sculpt my reverb in the box itself so that the reverb I'm getting is the sound that I want. I just don't like adding more and more effects if I don't have to.
