Tremolo is the name of one of the original and still very common

Tremolo on an amp like on my fender vibro champ is fluctuation in
volume.
But the 'trem bar' or tremolo bar on a guitar is affecting pitch.
It SHOULD be called a vibrato bar, but it is not. 'Whammy bar' wisely
dodges the issue altogether.
