I put this baby in my Les Paul, and...

"As a guitar signal interruptor, combined with massive amounts of overdrive (buries the 'pop' of signal cut) with moderate compression/ sustain, the quirky effect of a 'stuttering signal" is produced, adding the illusion of a dramatic increase in the speed of notes produced. In the right guitar player's hands, this switch has incalculable practical application potential. --Archon, of ShutEye Train..." Read Full Review »

The square buttons are nice, as they are made for a finger and wont let your finger slip out, pushing nearby buttons.

They aren't as high quality a …"  Read Full Review »

This is a great Killswitch

"Since a killswitch works by shorting the + and - output wires together to interrupt the signal, an N.O. switch is exactly what you want and this is the best and easiest to get one there is.



Wire it in parallel with the output jack and and download some buckethead tabs. "
