gonna  record chromatic solo. Which type of Lexicon reverb would be the most  
applicable: plate, vocal, hall, etc
 
Try them all and see what suites YOU...
 
It is best to add the reverb at the "mixing" stage, then you can try  various 
types...  That is record the music without effects then add what  you want 
later when you mix down from multitrack to CD. But different tunes need  
different effects. For example, a slow and moody tune might sound nice with a  "hall" 
reverb...Something fast an accurate might be best left "clean"...
 
A good sound engineer is going to know his equipment and can help.
 
ALWAYS make friends with the sound person!
