I have a theory that that "shimmer" we hear in good tube amps that we associate with good cleans is actually a subtle vibrato induced by carbon comp resistors varying their resitance at high voltages. That's why I like Magnatones so much. You can dial in a little bit of that shimmer or more to make it less subtle. These amps also give you fantastic overdrive sounds. All of those Phil X demos are through a Magnatone 213. You can hear lots of Magnatone overdrive on those.
not as good as the Silvertone tremelo but it's good. Listen to the vibrato at the end of Link Wrays "Rumble"
