Vibe-chorus-tremolo

[RedneckA-Hole]

YO DUDES,
Okay, i'm going to show (more) ignorance here and ask for a specific description of the difference between chorus, tremolo and the effect commonly reffered to as "vibe". One might assume it to be short for vibrato, and while I would describe it as sounding 'like' vibrato, I am reffering to the effect inspired by the univibe, so-thus the name.
Anyway, the 'voodoo vibe' by Mayer has vibrato, chorus and (i think) trem controls, the deja-vibe has a vibe/chorus rocker switch and so, in spite of the fact that I can hear each sound fairly distinctly in my head, I have to ask:
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EACH EFFECT?
Let's aim for specificity here folks. I mean, I want as much painful, excruciating, longwinded detail as you can possibly muster. As stated, I believe I know what each one sounds like, I can hear examples in my head anyway, so if you can describe the sound-in like, words-that would be ideal.
Okay: one, two, three-GO! :dance:

A Chorus effect is meant to simulate multiple insturments playing the same notes. Generally they do this by splitting the signal and adding a slight delay and detune effect.

A Tremolo is a pulsing. To similate one, rapidly turn your volume up and down.

A Vibe, even though it's traditionally called a chorus effect, it's actually more of a phase effect. It's meant so simulate the swirling sound of a rotating Leslie Speaker, and so combines a phase sweep with a volume sweep to simulate what a speaker sounds like as it rotates around it's axis.

Many thanks Screamingdaisy, it's definetly appreciated, and that is actually exactly what I was looking for.
Now I can get a deja vibe (mini), an AnalogMan Clone Chorus & a fulltone supatrem, all w/o feeling to bad about it...let the saving begin...

No problem.

I have a Dunlop UniVibe RI, EHX Small Clone, and a Red Witch Moon Phaser (which has a tremolo on it) myself....all are vastly different effects.

Re: Vibe-chorus-tremolo

can one find a leslie these days? That would be cool as s%$# IMO.

I'm really digging rock organ/fender rhodes tones these days.

I've always wondered how hard it would be to build one?
