Subtle Boss RV-3 Settings

The other day I decided to borrow my friend's Boss RV-3 to test out with my bass rig. I've always really liked the sound of a subtle amount of reverb on guitar so I figured it would be cool on the bass as well. So far I really like mode 11 on the pedal which I believe is the plate reverb mode which seems quite a bit brighter than the other reverb modes. I already have a DD-3 so I'm more interested in the reverb settings on this pedal, so with that being said, what are some good settings on this pedal for subtle amounts of reverb? Basically I'm just wanting to fill out a little more space with this reverb without getting muddy and I'll go ahead and mention that I always have some form of dirt on. Currently, my rig is as follows in this order: a P Bass thru an OCD, Rat Tail, Rusty Box, NS-2, DD-3, and RV-3 which all runs to the main input of my GK 800RB (set flat) and Mesa PH 212. Thanks in advance!
