How do I create a HUGE reverb?

Blatantly stealing from someone else, but one of my favourite artists has this enormously long reverb tail on a final vocal lyric that carries through a full chorus and following solo. Goes on forever... Think a delay effect with an almost infinite feedback setting — but a thick reverb.
Any advice using S7 plugins?
 
That's typically done with a reverb with a Freeze function -- it latches on to whatever's being processed when you press the Freeze button, and extends it forever. Tonebooster's TB Reverb 4 is affordable (€29):


None of the Presonus reverbs (nor the new Fender Studioverb) have Freeze per se, but you could fake it with Room Reverb, which has an insanely long 50 second decay (Length) setting.
 
Before checking out 3rd-party plug-ins (although effects like Valhalla Shimmer/Supermassive or Eventide Blackhole are awesome - I love them), try the Studio Pro reverb. It can do huge reverbs. Not infinite, but very long and definitely a good fit for sound design.

Shamelessly promoting my recent Studio Verb video 🙄

It's a great reverb, but AFAIK, not available to S1v7 users, which is what I assumed the OP was referring to by 'S7'.
 
Thanks everyone, I'd never heard of that freeze function. I'll go digging. (AND do my sig!) Yep, I'm still S7

As a work-around you could do what we did in the days before digital: take the FX buss output with your primary reverb on it and send it to another reverb, automating the send.
We used to do that feeding one EMT140 plate into another plate or echo chamber.
