Title: Installing a killswitch Post by: Mal Brossard on September 04, 2006, 07:35:32 AM I know we have quite a few musicians here who might know something about this one. I've got a Samick Les Paul copy that I'm going to do some modifications on-- strap locks, new pickups, and my favorite potential addition, a killswitch. I was wondering if anyone had ever installed a killswitch on a guitar before at all as I have no idea how the wiring goes to produce the best effect. I heard that just having a bypass on the wire to the output jack will produce a ton of extra noise that wrecks the effect, and that it somehow has to be wired through some sort of ground connection to the pickup selector switch (if that makes any sense).
Anyone ever put one in before or know how one would go? Title: Re: Installing a killswitch Post by: Steve McKagan on September 04, 2006, 09:54:58 AM I'm not a guitarist myself, but if you go to www.buckethead.tk (http://www.buckethead.tk) and surf the board, I'm sure you will find lots of info!
