Hello,
Regarding Magnatone vibrato- it is not tremelo.
It is true pitch-shifting modulation.
I have played through them and I use a custom reverb/vibrato head in front of a Cruncher and with Valco amps.
The vibrato is from a Magnatone 213 Troubador and is tube and varistor-based.
It is distinct from other vibrato effects I have heard.
It is way cool.
Best,
B

Unless, of course, you are playing through a vintage Magnatone amplifier.
