I was afraid that might be the case (not quite there yet). I realize it's not in big demand, and therefore low on their "to-do" list. What I was hoping for was at some point to have access to a Reverb Block to simulate the '62-'63 Fender Tube Reverb unit. It was a standalone unit, used with Bandmaster & Showman amps before Fender started putting them in the combo amps. It had its own tubes and produced much deeper (surfy) reverb sounds. Boss actually makes a pedal that does just that, and it's the best digital simulation I've heard to this point. For that sound, I guess i could use the Axe-FX effects loop. Thanks for the suggestions, though! I'll try them.This is one of those few things not quite there yet in the Fractal. By that I mean you can't accurately replicate the Fender builtin reverb sound.
The Fractal reverbs are extremely high quality and versatile though.
As you say you can get close, but not quite.
Some things I've tried and gotten close:
1. Rev in parallel before the amp block.
2. Rev -> Comp in parallel after the amp block.
3. Rev in series before the amp block and Rev -> Comp in parallel after at the same time.
I found the Rev -> Comp interesting because it adds a little oomph to the reverb and lets you control the tail differently than the reverb params in the block.
