I that case, I'd get down with the manual and learn about all the funky things Reason is capable of.
For instance, if you find that the standard ecf LP filter is to tame, why not combinate it and set the resonance to get stronger as the filter cutoff gets lower? (You can download my default patch on page 1 for an example of how this is done).
Combinators are really the key to making interesting and useful effects unit. Here are a few examples...
-Route the audio throught the waveshaper module on the malstrom for various saturation and distortion options.
-Stack multiple EQ's for filters with a steeper roll-off.
-Pass your audio through fx prior to a verb as well as after.
-Possibly run parallel fx series within a combinator giving two types of effect from the same combinator.
-Check out some of the combi patches I've made for extra ideas on stacking things within the combinator! (Available here ---> http://www.dubstepforum.com/big-thread- ... 45136.html)
