In the 80's there were a couple of very popular reverbs in use, pretty heavy sounding because of the way it was used and it's character. Looking toward what was available and used back then will give some insight as to why the sound was so popular. Good digital reverbs became available in the early 80's, so engineers tended to be a little heavy-handed with it because it was so new and sexy. Also, there was a lot of use of verbs (and chorus) in conjunction with delay so you may be hearing that effect buried in the overall sound.

 

Popular verbs: Yamaha SPX-90, Rev 7, SPX-900, Rev 5, Lexicon PCM-70, Alesis Midiverb and later the Quadraverb all helped define that era's effects sound.

 

I don't know how that would trnslate to the TC product, but the hall and room verbs on the Yamahas were pretty commonly used.

Eventide SP2016 was another popular reverb from the early 80s. AMS were another one.

 

 

Yes, quite popular in the studio but not so popular live due to the cost, and also the fragile nature of some of the pieces... Eventide suffered from reliability problems live.
