Looking to add a unique sonic weapon to your guitar arsenal? A killswitch is the secret weapon you might be missing. In essence, a guitar killswitch is a momentary switch that cuts off your guitar signal when pressed, and instantly restores it when released. This simple yet powerful tool allows you to create dynamic staccato rhythms, stuttering tremolo-like effects, and inject unexpected bursts of silence into your playing, adding a whole new dimension of creativity to your music.
Forget flimsy, plastic killswitches. Upgrade your instrument with a killswitch that delivers both superior performance and striking aesthetics. Our killswitches are engineered for seamless integration with both active and passive pickup systems. While our captivating LED versions require a battery, they can conveniently tap into an existing power source used for active pickups. For those seeking pure simplicity, our non-LED killswitches operate without any battery at all.
Introducing our innovative “Mini” LED killswitches, designed for effortless installation. Do you rarely use your guitar’s tone knob? Now you can easily replace it with a Mini killswitch. These compact switches fit directly into standard potentiometer holes, requiring no drilling or modifications, making it a completely reversible guitar modification. We also offer latching toggle versions, ideal for use as robust on/off power switches. Taking inspiration from musical innovators like Miles Davis, who famously said, “It’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play,” a killswitch empowers you to explore the power of silence and rhythmic interruption in your music. Elevate your playing and discover new textures today.
