I got a pretty close sound on a sawtooth wave with the depth maxed.
The trem she's using is a TR-2, you'd get one of those for less than £50 quite easily. I'm fairly sure the Mooer will do that too - that sound is just a high trem depth, basically.
"The compelling effect in question was achieved without the aid of samplers or digital simulators, but manually on traditional analogue equipment. The first step involved taking a basic rhythm guitar part, which had been recorded as a 'dry' DI (direct-input) take without any effects. Porter was already in the habit of taping a safety DI guitar track for every Smiths recording in case needed to alter or manipulate the sound at a later point in the mixing process. The song's texture was further enhanced by Porter's employment of noise gates and the same dry guitar track fed through a quarter note delay signal. 'I had all these combinations which were pretty much all the same guitar but through various faders', says Porter, 'each with slightly different sounds on. It was a combination of all these things'.
THis dry guitar pattern was next relayed to four Fender Twin Reverb amplifiers, each with its own vibrato tremolo switch. As Marr's plain rhythm was played back through the speakers, Porter and Marr controlled the vibrato on one pair of amplifiers apiece to create the swampy, shuddering texture required. Whenever their tremolo slipped out of sync, the recording was stopped, the tape spun back and recommenced, sometimes recording in bursts of only ten seconds at a time."
The book sounds like a good read, I shall check it out.
I'm NOT getting 4 Twin Reverbs !!!!

Nice. I had an Empress but flogged it and bought a Tr-2. I'm just as happy tone-wise but now I've got a pocketful of cash too.
