Whoops, actually, they're oil-filled. Simimliar to springs, but the springs 
are inside tubes filled with oil:

And, yar, I agree springs sound better than the digital thingies (for guitar 
anyway).

I've also got a weirdo amp called a "Duovox" (no relation to a vox). It 
actually belonged to Sal Salvadore (a plus or minus, you decide :p )

But it has two seperate inputs, each with "volume, bass, treble, reverb" 
(that's it).

So, it has TWO seperate springs. It sounds *great* when you pick up an inch 
and drop it on the floor.
