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.
