The way I understand the difference between vibrato and tremolo
effects on an amp, is that tremolo is volume modulation, whereas
vibrato is pitch modulation?
I think the old Vox AC 30 amps had both effects, which could be
used separately or together.
Older Fender amps always had tremolo, regardless of what the
word labelling the knobs said.
The Roland JC amps had chorus and vibrato, and the old Magnatone
amps had vibrato, I think they might have been the first with
that effect built in.

One of these days I'll evaluate a current model jc120 to sea if
the ree verb is any betta than the ree verb on my 1980's model
which sucks. Corus and vibrato is good on these as is the clean
sound.

My current (and only) guitar amp is a Marshall MG50DFX with
built in effects- the amp is transistor and these effects are
digital I think, but the reverb, and also chorus and delay
sounds are truly excellent.
Roland did most of the early chorus units as far as I am aware
(I used to have one of those big heavy grey units, was it a CE1?
with both chorus and vibrato) I've never really tried the
reverb on their JC series amps, although our rhythm player in
our band has a Cube 80 which I usually plug into at rehearsals,
but the reverb seems OK on it- it is a more modern amp model
however...
I have a DVD of an old live Ventures show where Nokie is playing
a wooden coloured Telecaster through a Peavey, but he didn't
use the reverb at all as far as I could hear, and he only used a
phase effect for a few tunes.
Let's face it, the guy is a marvellous player..and my favourite
Ventures lead man.

Agreed.
When Nokie played w/us, he played thru my JC120 and rite...he
doesn't use reverb.
The amp he played thru in the 80's was a Peavey Classic (2 12"
speekars).
