Try modulating the reverb send with a slow free-running LFO or the envelope generators or some combination of modulators. Having the reverb level jump around in time to the music generally sounds a lot more interesting than just having it static - assuming you’re making techno music of some kind, of course.
Also, I often set the Reverb time to 96 which is exactly 1/8th note, and then use one track to make a nice kick drum…send the kick to the reverb and you have this nice dark syncopated sound that’s quite diferent from the usual hi hat/ Tweak the time of the reverb slightly for positive or negative swing, messing with the gate and the high pass filter will change the character considerably.
