I am a little bit different from you fellows in that I mostly do live recordings. I have found that playing with the phase of a mono track can often do wonders. Adding to the suggestion above, duplicate the mono reverb track making one left and the other right. Invert the phase of one channel and mix it in with a mono dry track. Done right that will give a solid central image with the reverb creating nice acoustic space at the extreme right and left, or as far off the central image as you choose.

hell ya, sometimes the shit is the shit.. never been a huge nervana fan, but i'd say Bleach would be my fave for how shitty it sounds. those songs wouldn't sound right with top end gear and production imo.

I don't think Bleach sounds bad at all. Not over-polished and gridded and shiny, but heavy and raw and powerful and appropriate for the material, which is the most important thing of all.
Flipping the phase on one side will likely sound weird and unnaturally wide and more importantly inconsistent. If it ever plays back in mono the reverb will go away completely. Except in headphones (or earbuds more likely) nobody ever actually sits in the sweet spot to listen to your music. As you move away from the speakers, the image collapses to mono (and that reverb starts to disappear) and that's not the only way your nice stereo sound might end up playing back mono.

All true. I am not a professional as many of you are. I am basically a music lover and audiophile that enjoys the sound of natural acoustic and other well recorded music. One of the best ways I found to do that is through my own recording. I have a very nice dedicated listening room designed for good acoustics and one of my passions is to be able to create that virtually accurate soundstage from the sweet spot. To me, that is everything. Distant miked recordings of jazz, classical and rock acoustic done right can be very realistic. But, direct feed and close miked are a bit of a different animal. This is just one of the areas where I have a lot to learn. It seems that this is where the technician actually creates much of the illusion through mixing and manipulation rather than capturing what was originally there.
