![]() Tremolo effects pedals are also widely used to achieve this effect.Īlthough it had already been employed as early as 1617 by Biagio Marini and again in 1621 by Giovanni Battista Riccio, the bowed tremolo was invented in 1624 by the early 17th-century composer Claudio Monteverdi, and, written as repeated semiquavers ( sixteenth notes), used for the stile concitato effects in Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda. Electronic tremolo effects were available on many early guitar amplifiers. True tremolo for an electric guitar, electronic organ, or any electronic signal would normally be produced by a simple amplitude modulation electronic circuit. However, the term "trem" or "tremolo" is still used to refer to a bridge system built for a whammy bar, or the bar itself. This non-standard use of the term "tremolo" refers to pitch rather than amplitude. Some electric guitars use a (misnamed) lever called a "tremolo arm" or " whammy bar" that allows a performer to lower or (usually, to some extent) raise the pitch of a note or chord, an effect properly termed vibrato or "pitch bend".
