Salt Shaker
The MadeByMike Salt Shaker is a tremolo pedal that takes the classic effect and injects it with a healthy dose of versatility. Where most tremolos offer a simple on/off switch and a couple of knobs, the Salt Shaker gives you a veritable treasure trove of tone-shaping controls. Start with the Depth and Rate knobs to dial in the core tremolo pulse, from a subtle wobble to a pulsing throb. But things get really interesting with the Fine speed control - this allows you to fine-tune the tremolo rate with surgical precision, letting you zero in on that perfect rhythmic sweet spot. The Shape knob is where the Salt Shaker really sets itself apart. This morphs the tremolo waveform from a sharp, aggressive square wave all the way to a smooth, vintage-inspired sine wave. Pair this with the Ratio control, which alters the relationship between the "on" and "off" portions of the cycle, and you can conjure up a dizzying array of tremolo textures. Whether you're after a classic surf-rock shimmer, a pulsing ambient wash, or something completely unique, the Salt Shaker has the flexibility to deliver. Its versatility has made it a favorite of discerning guitarists like Johnny Marr, who has used it to add dynamic movement to his shimmering guitar work. If you're looking to breathe new life into your tremolo sounds, the Salt Shaker is a must-try pedal.
