Stoner/Doom Bassists 84: Name That Amp!

I have one of the newer, non-Japanese ones. I don't think it matters. All of the BF-2s are analog, the BF3 is digital (so I've heard) and has more issues with cutting low end. I've not used the super phaser, but there's quite a few phasers that have low-end issues.

I'll probably keep a look out. I have an old 80s digitech chorus/flanger that's cool, but it's just so damn big that I could really use a Boss-sized pedal instead.

Can't speak for the BF-2 debate (although I'm pretty sure I've owned a couple over the years, but I just don't like modulation that much so I never keep them).

But I had a japanese DS-1 that absolutely sounded better than any other DS-1 I ever played. Probably should have kept it, but I sell anything that's not getting used...so off it went.

Yeah, I've read stuff all over where people swear by MIJ Bosses instead of MIT Bosses. I've never done an A-B in-person, though. I imagine there's a difference, but it's usually marginal and certainly not noticeable in a band context.
 
What reverb do you use?

IRon Ether one yea?

Also tremolo is a volume fluctuation based effect in it's true definition.

Originally fender tremolo circuits were a lightbulb and a photoreceptors black taped together to hide all other light, this "bug" as it was called then got wired in so that you adjusted how often the light flashed and how intensely and that effected your volume.

I do believe that's correct?
