I think Simon mainly uses a Lexicon MPX 1. I have one too but prefer my Roland R-880. I think the trick is not to hear the reverb. Try creating a verb that acts almost like ambience. Use a small hall instead of a big one. Set the predelay at 20-24ms or shorter. Reverb time should be no more than 1.80s. What's important if you want to use much reverb but you don't want to drown your sounds is to damp and filter the reverb otherwise it can get too bright or metalish (depends on your reverb generator) If you have darkened your tail (tale, haha) to your taste, you can easily make it longer again (if you should want to). I also go easy on early reflections. If you can adjust its level, try 100%, then 50% and even 0% to see what you like best. Then pan the brass in the same way they're positioned in a real orchestra. French Horns at between 10.00 and 11.00 o'clock, trumpets at 13.00 o'clock, trombones at 14.00 o'clock and tuba between 14.00 and 15.00 o'clock.
