Electronic tremolo effects were available on many early guitar amplifiers. Fender labeled them Vibrato, adding to the confusion between the two terms. [4] Tremolo effects pedals are also widely used to achieve this effect. Most settings on a tremolo effects pedal include depth of the tremolo (sometimes called intensity) and speed of the tremolo.
Tremolo, in electronics, is the variation in amplitude of sound achieved through electronic means, sometimes mistakenly called vibrato, and producing a sound somewhat reminiscent of flanging, referred to as an "underwater effect". [1] A variety of means are available to achieve the effect.
A tremolo harmonica is a type of diatonic harmonica, distinct by having two reeds per note. In a tremolo harmonica, the two reeds are tuned slightly off a reference pitch, one slightly sharp and the other slightly flat.
A vibrato system on a guitar is a mechanical device used to temporarily change the pitch of the strings. It adds vibrato to the sound by changing the tension of the strings, typically at the bridge or tailpiece of an electric guitar using a controlling lever, which is alternately referred to as a whammy bar, vibrato bar, or tremolo arm.

The switch is mounted onto the controlling instrument, so the player can easily switch settings. Some earlier models were limited to "off" and "tremolo", and some later models had all three settings. [17] The switch can be used while notes are being played, and the sound of changing between the two settings is part of the characteristic sound. [12]
The original sound wave is suppressed and replaced by a ring of inharmonic higher and lower pitches or sidebands. [82] [90] A notable use of ring modulation is the guitar in the Black Sabbath song "Paranoid". [91] Ring modulator effects: Moogerfooger MF-102 Ring Modulator. Tremolo: A tremolo

The trill (or shake, as it was known from the 16th until the early 20th century) is a musical ornament consisting of a rapid alternation between two adjacent notes, usually a semitone or tone apart, which can be identified with the context of the trill [2] (compare mordent and tremolo).
