    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    I don't have it any more but I never heard my old Kingsley pedals sound better than through a Carr Rambler

    @hootsmon I've recently been running a Harlot as a light overdrive before a Minstrel set with more gain, giving me 3 levels of drive. Both pedals are on mode 2 and that's through my Blues Breaker clone set clean. I've got a boost after them if I need to increase the volume.  

    I might try them in the same order but setting the Harlot as a heavier OD and the Minstrel as the lighter OD and see how that sounds and of course swapping the pedals around too. But that might be a while as I'm loving the sounds I'm getting at the moment!
