The old Fender amps are excellent for that. I am basically an old surf guy without the reverb. Surf was wet with reverb but I find that a good vibrato is hard to beat. I do not have any mentors on this as we were on the leading edge of this stuff in the first place from a time standpoint.. I think that we are talking tremolo and Duane Eddy used it on some of his early songs.The Ventures were an example of surf bands that used the vibrato to the most. Good use of a vibrato requires a good feel. That is one of the reasons I like a Bigsby. You have unbelievable control with the Bigsby. I also have recorded with Fenders and the American Deluxe Vibrato is good. The DF Vibrato on my most recent ASAT is to kill for. It is smooth and very easy to feel. Feel is extremely important when using the Vibrato. The ASAT is a very popular guitar for G&L but you haven't lived unless you have played an ASAT with a DF. My next build will have one. I think that the tremelo pedal is cool but you can only use it for certain things. The clip is a good example of tremelo. I hope I am not confused Jamie. I had a nice dinner with Ginny on the patio tonight. We actually hit almost 70 F today, a long way from our snow storm on Tuesday. This kind of heat can be detrimental to brain function in Minnesota.-- Darwin
