Echo and reverb get mixed up. Reverb is a blur of reflections. Echo is the sound itself, heard again a moment later. Set the gap between echoes, how many there are, and how quickly they die away.
A gap under 120 ms with one repeat gives the slap-back heard on old rock and roll vocals. Stretch it to 400 ms with four repeats and you get the shout-across-a-valley effect.
