It's actually a lot easier than you might think. The organ I'm using in this video is a Bontempi electronic organ found discarded on the street in Middletown, CT.

The tremolo you hear is controlled by a foot pedal I attached to a trimmer inside the organ that can range the notes from pure square wave to insane, unrecognizable tremolos.
