## Overview

The Alpinetech Guitar Kill Switch is a 22mm stainless steel momentary normally open push button designed for quick sound interruption on electric guitars. It installs easily into a 19mm cut hole and works with both passive and active pickups, enabling guitarists to create stutter and machine-gun sound effects with precision and durability.

## Description

By pushing down the switch it momentarily kills the sound to create a stuttering or so-called "machine gun" sound effect. When the button is released it will restore the sound instantly. Easy to install, just wire one side to the negative and one side to the positive of the guitar output jack. The mounting cut hole needed is 19mm or 3/4".

Review: Very good quality switch - Very nice kill switch. Seems to be fairly durable and looks awesome. Works great with passive or active pickups. Please take note that this is an OPEN switch. That means NO signal passes through between its contacts. The way it works is that it SHORTS a circuit when depressed. So make sure you install the switch with SIGNAL wire on one contact and GROUND on the other. It will then short your signal back to ground to interrupt or “KILL” the signal. DO NOT INSTALL IT ON THE ACTUAL BATTERY WIRES. Other than that it installs easy providing you don’t mind drilling a 19mm hole in the body. If you don’t use your tone pot then this is a great location for your kill switch. Good luck.
Review: Very Cool, if you have a place to put it. - The thing you have to remember with a kill switch is, you have to put a hole in something to install it. If you have something like a strat, you probably have room in the pickguard for it. If not, you are going to have to put a rather large hole in your guitar. I put it in an inexpensive guitar and it's great. You have to drill a pretty big hole, but after that, the installation is really easy. There are a couple of ways you can do it, do your home work, one wiring makes it silent, the other is like you are unplugging the chord every time you use it, so it pops rather loudly. The Alpinetech switch is responsive and firm, yet easy to push. It looks cool and I actually use it more than I thought I would. This is my first kill switch, so I can't really say how it measures up against other kill switches, I can say, it does what I want it to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as should. Buttons a little stiffer than desired.
*by D***. on November 22, 2024*

Easy install. Just spliced the 2 ground and hot wires coming off of the input jack of my guitar and ran it through. Happy with it but I was hoping the button was gonna be looser. Like an arcade button. It does take a somewhat firm press. Thats why 4 instead of 5 stars. Either way I am satisfied. Especially for the price. NOTE: I know the hex ring is meant to go inside the body, screwed to the back of the button to secure it inside. But when drilling the hole a little bit of the finish chipped away and I was able to cover it up by putting the button on top of the hex ring. I dont mind how it looks. Better than the ring flush on the body but with a little chipped finish on the edge. I kinda like how its raised sitting on the hex anyways. Sincd the hole is tight and with a tiny dab of super glue its secure. But yeah.....Thats why its like that. Being said. Be real careful drilling! lol! I wasnt.
