I have to agree with Nachoman. Clarence Clemens has that "sound" because he's "that good". It's because he practices real hard (listen to Bruce's version of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town)
His sound isn't electronic, it's actually his technique.
However, if you want some delays and reverbs, there are a lot of nice effects boxes out there today. I personally use a Digitech S-100 - a nice rack-mountable unit but there are a lot of other great choices. If I was to buy another one, I'd look at the foot-pedal type effects units out today with an expression pedal built-in. Digitech has a few as does Boss. I would stick with one that is made for vocals but you can try any of them. Lexicon also gets some great ratings when it comes to delays and reverbs. Enjoy. Sometimes shopping around is half the fun! Make sure you can return them though if you don't end up liking what you've bought.
