Demonstration of the guitar kill switch. Using a small "Push to Make, Non-Locking (momentary)" switch, a Schecter Custom Telecaster, a Q-Tron Plus, and a cute 4-watt Roland Micro-Cube :)

  • hey, does this mod suck tone at all? thanks

  • Hey, I can relate to that, Ivor - good question. There's none at all :) There's no componentry other than a switch, which is not even in circuit when the signal is going straight through unaffected. When the switch is pressed, however, it sucks everything - and that what you want - nothing. :)

  • It doesn't matter if the switch is NO or NC you can use either as a kill switch in a guitar. If its NO you wire it so that it connects your hot output to the ground when pressed effectively killing the signal, if it's NC you just break your output and put the switch between the break. I have used both kinds of switches with success but prefer NO it produces no feedback or hum when pressed for long periods

  • @MrTrumanBrain Yeah I think youre right. I think I had that backwards.

  • @clewi1091 Sure it's not an NC switch? NO switches are normally open if un touched which means no circuit!

  • @clewi1091 No, it's a NC switch! When you don't press it, you want the signal to be flowing through it! NO switch means that the circuit is normally open ie, there is a gap in the circuit so nothing gets through!

  • @clewi1091 Yeah, that's right. Make sure it's a momentary switch too, so it opens again as soon as you stop pressing it. :)

  • @FunkyMando It would have to be a normally open switch to work right wouldnt it? That way, without using the switch you have an uninterupted signal. But when using the switch, then you would get the effect of the switch cutting out. Am I getting this right?

  • sweet guitar bro

  • good point lol. thanks
