Adding a killswitch to your gear arsenal is like adding an entirely new dimension to your dynamics;
a different way to express & shape your musical phrasing.
After all,

Iron Age killswitches - Simple, versatile and hugely powerful.
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? Any toggle switch will work for this, but we also offer some micro-switches on our Installation Kit page. (Install Kits are optional & sold separately)
Do you want the LED to automatically turn on when the instrument cable is inserted? Then a simple stereo jack will do the trick. Most active-pickup guitars already have one installed! These are also available on our Installation Kit page. (Install Kits are optional & sold separately)
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.

"All The Power, At Your Fingertips"
Create Insane Effects Like the Pros With a Push of a Button
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%

"THIS Is The Perfect Mod To Set Your Axe Apart"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. These are "momentary switches".
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.
Your Search For The Right Switch Ends Here.
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!
**Intended for high-gain applications,
as using these with clean tones can lead to unwanted popping when activated
as with all kill-switches.
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.

Kill The Signal In Between SetsEveryone is looking for something that sets them apart.
an uncommon sound.
That's because if we're truly saying something,
that expression will belong to us and to nobody else.
To that end,
many of us search for things that will allow us to exhibit our creativity and make a statement that feels radically different.
Adding one of these killswitch to your gear arsenal is like adding an entirely new dimension to your dynamics;
a different way to express & shape your musical phrasing.
And because it can be used as a toggle, it's great for muting your guitar in between sets.
After all,
sometimes it's not What you say, but How you say it.
Not only that,
but a spectacular mod such as this one,
can open new avenues of creativity for you to explore.
Iron Age killswitches - Simple, versatile and hugely powerful.
This model of killswitch acts just like a toggle. When pressed, it remains engaged & all sound is eliminated. That is, until you press the button again to disengage & resume normal sound.
It can however, still be used rhythmically to create momentary killswitch effects, it just takes a bit more effort to match the speed of our regular momentary switches.
The mechanism itself acts by grounding out the signal to your pickups. Meaning the signal never reaches back to your amp & is stopped at the source. This doesn't harm your electronics in any way, nor does it create any unwanted popping noises when activated in distorted guitars.
Some notable guitarists who have adopted the killswitch as a signature to their playing include:
Buckethead, Eddie Van Halen, & Tom Morello
