Classic 80's fretless sound... Reverb recommendations

I think the title says it all! I want to add a reverb to my board to help me get to that classic 80s fretless sound. I've got the Eden chorus, I use my Ashdown amp built in sub effect for octave, for fretless I use the enhance setting on my Boss Limiter/ Enhancer and I use rounds on my fretless... I just feel I need some reverb to finish it off. I don't want to spend a lot, so have seen the Biyang going at low prices, but don't know if it's any good or not? Ideally want a smaller footprint on the board too. Happy to look at more budget brands like Harley Benton, NUX, Chord etc. Or things that go cheap second hand like the Marshall guitar pedals. Just want to make sure I can get that fullness and warmth to the mwaaaah. 

Recommendations gratefully received.

Sorry, I can't comment on the reverb but won't the enhance setting on the BOSS LMB3 scoop the mids?  That won't help.  I use flats on fretless but I agree that the 80's was more about the fretless with rounds tone.  Using a bit of chorus should do it, and if you want the Guy Pratt/Pino sound then octave too

I've not experienced that but I go from a Hartke VXL with the mids ramped up in to the enhance pedal so maybe it balances out? 

Anyways, I think the answer is to sell the Eden chorus and replace it with a Chowny Bassmosphere reverb and chorus pedal. See what that does...
