US band in Toledo removing editor's musical effect (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tremolo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'musical effect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'us band in toledo removing editor's' is the wordplay.
'us band' becomes 'rem' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'removing' is a deletion indicator.
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'toledo' with 'ed' removed is 'tolo'.
'rem' going within 'tolo' is 'TREMOLO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tremolo that I've seen before include "A vibrating effect in music" , "Quivering effect (in music)" , "Wavering note" , "Quivering musical effect" , "Musical wavering effect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
