Sneap said he uses verb on trade-offs or where only one guitar is playing.
And what is "Mastering Reverb"?

Ozone 4 comes with it's own Mastering Reverb. It's reverb you place on the whole mix. Gives a bit of air or space, I suppose. Sometimes it's really nice.

From what I have picked up of information about this is seems like reverb at the mastering stage is the exception rather than the rule.
Now about guitars, in some cases when using DIs and ampsims I have experimented with sending a tiny, tiny bit to a very realistic room (nebula) to emulate the sound you get when you mic it up.

i always ask ME to apply some sort of mastering reverb. the ones i've been to attended sessions usually are like those big tc units like system 4000 or 6000 whatever it's called. it's just a teeeny amount on the whole mix to give it a space almost.

The guitars on the Tryptikon ep are really wet, but their style tends to be pretty slow and sludgy, so it fits. The faster and more technical your guitar parts are, the less verb you probably want to use.

Listen to that album !
A - It's fucking AWESOME
B - The guitar sound is very roomy (i'm not sure whether it's post-processing reverb or just that the guitars are recorded in a nice room with room mics)

Ozone 4 verb user here. I solo the verb and switch between plate and room and it's always immediately obvious which ones a more suitable 'place' to have the band. Not always necessary obviously, but can bring another element of glue on top of your master bus comp.

Played around with the verb last night.. tiny tiny amount (like setting the wet to 0.1) and adjusting the room and damper and so on.
On one song I found it made the intruments glue better and not sound so "tense".. in a good way.
The other song I tried was no go and made the song loose impact and punch.
So yeah, seems like a good tool.. but as always not for everything

I've experimented with using a large diaphragm condenser mic(only condenser I have atm) in addition to an SM57 as the main. Generally I used it about 3 inches from the grille cloth and blending it in really quietly, just to add some room sound. I've had mixed results but it all depends on what you're after I guess, your tastes, and music style - maybe worth a try. Just another option to ponder.

I sometimes use small reverb on guitars for another reason.
When i have to cut/edit guitartracks to make the guitars tighter for whatever reason, i add some reverb.
Without reverb a very short gated guitar sound unnatural. With reverb it's totally natural and still tight.
When all the tracks are playing you don't notice the reverb, it's only audioble at guitarstops. This way i can get away with extreme cutting/gating.
Works for me.

I like reverb on rhytm guitar tracks. I wouldn't use it for Thrash Metal since it takes away a bit of the bite and presence, but for Gothic Metal like Within Temptation oder Draconian it adds the right amount of room and deepness to digital guitar tracks if used carefully.

When using ampsims, i've been using Rverb and been adjusting a good sounding room sound with the original guitartrack, then hipass and lopass it to remove some annoying bumm and fzz. Then adding it so that i barely notice it. It makes it more "alive" recorded sound. Im offcourse also making it very short verb. Usually im recording with my 5150 through impulses and won't have to do that for some reason. Im doing it to bass ALWAYS though. Widenes a shitload of that.

+1 I stick a small ammount of verb on my bass too! Like the man says widens it and gives it a tastier dynamic
