With your finger on the button,

all it takes is a pleasant click to unleash a barrage of exhilarating
possibilities.

We've all seen those bulky & brightly colored killswitches that can detract from your guitar's original style.

And using a killswitch pedal just doesn't allow for the same quick-action functionality.

With our killswitches however, the power is quite literally at your fingertips.

You can momentarily cut the power to your pickups in an instant without missing a beat, it's all within reach.

Not only that but if you're looking to install a new mod or add a finishing touch to your guitar project. These switches are perfect for matching your current guitar's hardware.

It's a sleek factory-look available in 3 attractive finishes.
- Black Stealth
- Spartan Steel
- Vintage Gold

It's the distinguishing factor to any hot-rodded guitar or project axe that so many guitarists agree with.

There's a Reason We're Number One

When it comes to guitar kill-switches, we don't cut corners & our customer satisfaction is top-notch. See for yourself below!
Rated for a whopping 500,000 presses,

these switches are ready to endure some serious abuse over the years.

They're what's called "momentary switches",

meaning that they only cut-off ( ground out) your guitar's signal while being pressed,and resume normal sound when released.

When this technique is used rhythmically & in conjunction with your playing,
it creates a machinegun/stutter effect that some notable guitar players have adopted as a distinction to their playing.
(Buckethead, Eddie Van Halen, & Tom Morello)

Unlike our LED illuminated switches that have several installation options,
these ones work with BOTH active/passive pickups & still look outstanding!
As far as hooking up the electronics, it can be done in no time flat.

Simply connect one wire to a ground of your choice (Jack, Ground Plate, or Back of Potentiometer)
and
connect the other lead to your pickup's positive+ (At the Jack or Potentiometer).
There's no polarity so there's no way to mix up these two wires.

That's it.
It really is that simple.

To make installation more streamlined, all of our killswitches have the same 16mm mounting-hole diameter.

Use your own drill/bit or method, or pick up the exact diameter bit along with your order >here<
Each switch is built with a construction that emanates quality from the second you grasp it in your hand.

They're built TOUGH to withstand anything you throw at them.

And the button's action?

The button itself is nothing less than satisfying to click, providing crisp action & a smooth release for functionality that inspires confident playing.

All switches are pre-wired to make installation a breeze & save you time.
Installation can be accomplished in as little as 15-20 minutes.

Each switch has a slightly raised button so you can pinpoint it by feel and a distinguishing Iron Age logo so you know it's up for anything.

Each order includes:
- 1 Premium Killswitch (Pre-wired)
- 1 Rubber gasket to protect your guitar's finish underneath.
- 3 Complementary Iron Age Picks

Sometimes you want to make a statement.
You don’t just want to speak, you want to yell.
You don’t just want to paint, you want to drench.

Playing guitar is as tactical as it is creative,
and knowing how to surprise an audience
can be the difference between "so-so" or creating a remarkable impression.

Knowing when and being able to pull out the stops,
just at the height of tension,
can make your performance linger well beyond its time.
It can be a way of not just speaking but being heard.

A killswitch is a tool that can you accomplish just that.
To push your music even further and to break the tension like a fever.

Killswitches are a simple,
easy way to add a whole new dimension to your playing,
and totally transform your guitar into a show-stopper.
A guitar kill-switch works by momentarily cutting power to your pickups while pressed.
Once you release the button, all sound instantly resumes back to normal.

This does not harm your pickups or electronics at all, and is done by simply grounding out the pickup signal.

When used rhythmically & in conjunction with your playing,
it creates a choppy/staccato effect that some prominent guitarists have adopted as a staple to their playing.
(Buckethead, Eddie Van Halen, & Tom Morello)

Afterall,
“The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between.”
-Mozart
Lucky for you, these switches are compatible with BOTH passive & active pickup guitar setups.

It just depends on the configuration you want to use.

Do you want control of the LED? A passive install kit w/ micro switch will do.

Do you want the LED to automatically turn on when the instrument cable is inserted? Then an active install kit with a stereo jack will do the trick. (Most active-pickup guitars already have one installed!)

Can you use the killswitch without the LED? For sure, simply cap off the two lighting wires. The switch will still function 100%

Do these work on bass guitars too? Absolutely worked on this awesome Krashburn Atlass II Bass :)

Installation is a breeze with our provided installation guides & FAQ.

Countless customers have transformed their guitars into outstanding icons with little to no issues due to the resources provided & our willingness to help.

Feel free to contact us anytime if you have any questions regarding installation.
No more evil kill-boxes or tacky buttons!

Each of our killswitches features a stealthy black finish to have your guitar looking like a nighthawk stealth bomber.

The aircraft-grade aluminum body is nothing less than rugged too. Up for anything you throw at it, and ready to provide countless hours of fun effects.

The button's action leaves a satisfying click in its wake, providing you with accurate, reliable functionality. It's also a joy to press!

On a dark stage, the illuminated button is a real eye-grab, and can be quickly pinpointed without missing a beat.

To make life just a bit easier for you, each switch comes with professionally soldered leads. This saves you time & some of the hassle of having to hook up extra wires.

Installation is a cinch with just some basic wiring skills. There's 2 killswitch wires, & 2 LED wires. There's no need for complicated splicing or wire-routing. You can have your switch up & running in as little as half an hour.

There's 6 LED colors available to light up the stage!

Blue, Green, Magenta, Red, Yellow, & White

Are LED Lights not your thing? No worries. You can simply cap off the LED wires & leave them unhooked. Just connect the remaining 2 killswitch wires.

You still get 100% functionality & a low-key stealthy look.

Each order includes:
- 1 Premium LED Killswitch (Pre-wired)
- 1 Rubber gasket to protect your guitar's finish underneath.
- 1 150 ohms resistor for your LED
- 3 Complementary Iron Age Picks
- An "Iron-Fist" 365-day, no-bull ,Warranty
- Incredible customer service around the globe which Iron Age is known for.
