I do not know what amplification and/or pedals were involved. Could even be D.I. recording and outboard compression/limiting.

His sound is totally unique, I've often tried to copy bits of it for various reasons, but it's just so distinctive it doesn't really work for anything else.

I love TBIII, Voyager and Tr3s Lunas too.
(Goes away to play with Boss GT-1. )

I'm enjoying some of the reissued deluxe editions where he's included demos and remixed versions. I also like the arrangements of TB1 and Moonlight Shadow on the Tubular Bells 50th Anniversary Celebration.
I was listening to Amarok a few days ago in the car, where I have a decent stereo with lots of speakers and subwoofers, and it's the first album I've listened to where I've felt a thump in my back - the range of frequencies in that album is astounding!
A long time ago I had some antisocial neighbours who liked to come in drunk/high in the small hours and put techno on, despite being asked politely not to... one morning after they'd done it even later and longer than usual I set up my band's PA system with the bass bins wedged face-on against the adjoining wall, and played them Beethoven's 7th symphony at full Albert Hall volume, followed by The Songs Of Distant Earth as loud as it would go. The low frequencies on TSODE were hilarious, the entire building was vibrating - at one point I thought I could hear furniture falling over next door. Then I phoned them (I had the number from their landlord) and said quietly "it is annoying listening to the neighbours music, isn't it?" I never heard as much as a pin drop from them again - they moved out a couple of months later .

The Track "Ascension" has some wickedly low notes in it!
