Also some amps have a bass boost button (e.g. Ampeg, GK) which is not the same as the sub/octaver found in amps like Ashdown. But people press them as they think they are playing bass so therefore need lots of bass.

If you can buy a bass rig with an inbuilt octaver, can you also buy one with an inbuilt fuzz, chorus, flanger, and envelope filter?

My first amp did! A Line 6 Lowdown. Also the Markbass MultiAmp has all this and more, there are probably a few others out there (TC Toneprints and Kemper Profiler spring to mind).
