**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.

Black Stealth, LED Guitar Killswitch

"All The Power, At Your Fingertips"
Create Insane Effects Like the Pros With a Push of a Button
- 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.
**Intended for high-gain applications,
as using these with clean tones can lead to unwanted popping when activated
as with all kill-switches. -
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.

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.

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

Carbon Fiber Accent Ring (For Iron Age Killswitches)
$5.00
Accentuate Your Killswitch With A Holographic Look
Fits perfectly under all of our switch models
-
Carbon fiber is a striking material & epitome of modern luxury.
It's composed of a series of cross hatched carbon weaves that produce an amazing 3d look when you view it from any angle.
Now you can add an underlying accent of high-tech carbon to your guitar.
Whether you need to make your guitar stand out or cover up some shaky hands during the installation.
This carbon fiber ring covers a bit of ground in terms of customization, & adds to the allure of your killswitch-loaded guitar.
At a mere .50mm in thickness, it's ultra-thin & stays out of the way of your normal playing.
The overall diameter of the 26mm model is just big enough to look awesome & get noticed without taking away from your guitar's style.
And because it's a holographic black & grey, it matches up with just about any colored guitar.
This is a precision-cut, & hand-finished item so each piece is thoroughly inspected for a fine finish around the edges. - * Must be installed before the killswitch is wired.
- ** Now available in 2 diameter sizes: 26mm (Extends ~4mm around the switch) & a larger 32mm (Extends ~7mm around the switch)
- *** The button switch itself in NOT included.
Installation Kits & Drill Bits
$7.00
Everything You Need In One PlaceMake Your Installation A Breeze
- Here you can find the various kits & accessories to install your killswitch. There's 2 basic kits available for just about any guitar, they are both the same other than the power source used. Both will power your LED for over 100 continuous hours:
#1 - 9v Battery Kit This is perhaps a more common kit since some guitars already have cavities for 9v batteries. If space issues are not a concern, this is a good choice.
The kit includes both a Stereo Jack & a Micro-switch. You can use either one depending on how you want to wire the LED of your switch. The stereo jack will allow you to automatically turn on the LED when a cable is plugged into the guitar, and the micro-switch lets turns your LED on or off whenever you want.
Please note that the kill-switch can still operate even with the LED turned off or left disconnected. Drill bits are available separately (see drop down menu)
#2 - CR2032 (Slim) Battery Kit If you have a guitar like the Ibanez S series, or are running tight on space, this is the better kit. These include a battery carrier, two CR2032 batteries, and both Stereo Jack & Micro-switch.
The profile is much thinner than a regular 9v so you get the benefit of space savings. When one of these kits is used, the included inline resistor (LED models only) is not required for installation. The resistor is only required when using a 9v.
Both Kits are $7 each - Drill bits are available separately -
Our drill bits are made from steel, and can be used to install any and all Iron Age kill-switches. Drill bits are sold separately from the installation kits.
Why use this style of drill bit?
The "Forstner" style bits have a center guide pin that helps to stabilize the spinning bit as it cuts. The result of these bits is a very smooth accurate cut while other bits can have a less-than-desirable rough edge.
To obtain the best results, it's recommended that you drill from the top of the guitar into the electronics cavity. This will ensure the cleanest cut where it matters most.
Quick Tip: Before you start, it helps to lay down some painters tape to protect areas around the drilling point.
Also, you can make an indentation exactly where you want to start using the bit's center guide pin.This will help to keep the bit exactly where you want it once you begin to drill.
Light pressure is best to let the bit do the cutting of the guitar finish before applying a moderate pressure once you're down to the actual wood.
The drill bit diameter is 16mm & can be used to install ALL of our switches.
Each drill bit is $7
*Drill bits are sold separately & are not included with any of the installation kits. -
Needle Rasp Files are now available for enlarging potentiometer holes in order to fit a killswitch. This is the preferred method to use for those wanting to replace their tone knob for a killswitch instead of trying to drill a larger hole without a drill press.
**Our forstner bits are not recommended for hole enlargement as they require material to grab onto at the center for guidance.
Splice Kits For those who aren't solder-savvy or don't have the tools at hand, splices are available. Each splice kit has a total of 4 splices. These are best for non-LED kill-switches where you can simply tap into the ground & hot wires at the jack instead of soldering onto the leads.
If you have an LED model switch, some soldering would still be required for the resistor & maybe the battery connector wires. To make these work, all you need is some pliers.
The terminal ends get crimped onto the wires of your kill-switch.
Next the folding splice gets wrapped around the wire you wish to tap into (ground & hot wire coming from the jack).
Once the wire is seated in between the metal blade, firmly close the splice until it snaps shut.
Finally connect your kill-switch wire with the terminal attached to the side of the splice until it seats firmly.
Needle rasp files are $3 & Splice kits (4 Splices) are $2
