I write books. You consider reading them.

Sorry, but that sounds more like a univibe/chorus effect than tremolo. The former effects pitch, the latter volume.

It's the tremolo effect on an amp. The effect had two controls: Rate and Depth. The songs you posted turned both of the controls higher than most users would have.

What is the name of this pedal guitar effect (if that's what it is)?

It was popular for a brief moment in the late 1960s and early 1970s:

My first literary endeavor, long before I wrote anything online or in books, was this cut and paste zine.

They routinely sold out at Atomic Books in Baltimore and absolutely nowhere else.

Now they are extremely scarce.

This whole record is demented. Also extremely scarce.

I got my copy at Peter Dunn's Vinyl Museum in Etobicoke back in the day.

The John Birch Society sponsored this ill-fated attempt at a satirical rock song concerning the Watts uprising:

Fuzz guitar, baritone saxophone, hammond organ, kick drum - the solos in the middle of this Get Smart rendition are just too much:

1974.

Truly one of the best little Canadian movies ever made.

It's set in Florida and features John Marley, but police calls referencing Dovercourt Road and a diner playing Stompin' Tom Connors gives it away:

Vintage Deception.

The titles of certain television shows were altered for syndication in order to create the illusion of a new program.

The publication of The Comedians, 10 years ago this month, made me.

It brought me into the fold of a whole new echelon of comedy luminaries. And it led to my time with Gilbert Gottfried.

But here's something I have never publicly revealed...

Still paying off in royalties to this day. Thank you all.
