Somebody on talkbass told me to wire my killswitch to the red wire connecting the master tone and output jack, is he correct?

(Top circle is neck pot, middle is bridge pot, bottom is master tone)

If somebody could guide me through this that would be awesome!

I'm not sure if this is the only thing that would work, but I think you could take a SPST switch (or two lugs of a SPDT incl. the common lug) and solder one lug to the hot and one to the ground of the jack or the wires coming from the jack. I've only seen this done with momentary switches, I think, but it might work for a toggle too (might want to try to find this out though). Also, I'm not sure if you can put in the anti-pop resistor with this, but I think you could....

So, I'm wanting to wire an On-off-on switch as a killswitch to get super fast stutter, anyways...

So I'm guessing the way to do this is to simply wire it up like this:
Hot->1
To output(tip)->2
Hot->3

And then have a grounded washer on the switch.

I'm guessing it will only be grounded in the off position when I touch the switch, am I right?

This right here:

That would work as long as one of my hands is touching the ground, correct?

This is what I ended up using. Low profile, normally open, push to close contact, sleek and sturdy. MTBF is 100,000+ cycles. It's out of the way but instantly accessible when I need. Wired directly across the output jack hot and ground. Works like a charm and in my opinion looks good.


Looks GREAT!

Would you mind sharing where you sourced that switch from? I'm having a tough time finding low profile arcade-style buttons like that!

Thank you for sharing.

Bump to the bump

Who's got a source or a part number for the black pushbutton switch shown in the photo right above?

FYI, for everyone's edification and my own future reference, I found this same switch in the U.S., at Digikey:

http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSe...x=0&y=0&cur=USD

It's made by E-Switch, the manufacturer's part number is RP3502ABLK, and it looks like other companies carry it as well.

Dual-function "stutter" kill-switch for electric guitar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbE...&feature=g-hist

I would like to install one like this in a Strat. Does anyone here know how to wire it with a push pull Pot?
Would this be the way to do it? ;

i use that same switch in the pic above, i just go to store The Source to get it...

anyways... i added a killswitch to my guitar, the same low profile one shown earlier. but i seem to get some popping sound i even wired in a resistor as i heard that would fix it, but no luck.. on the lead chanel its fine you barley notice but on the clean its kinda annoying.


its wired between the 2 contacts on the output jack and the resistor is wired between the prongs on the switch.

is there anyways to completly remove the popping sound or is that just how it is suppose to be?
