i am a intermediate guitar player and i want to know if i can make a kills witch with a 3 way selector switch?

Question

is for my guitar i have a ibanez js 100 and it have a 3 way selector switch so i want to know if i can make a kill switch for it you know like the kill switch that tom morello has, if i can, can you tell me how please, thank you, if you can answer me in spanish it would be better for me thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Pickups are usually wired in combinations through the three way switch. You could make a kill position but it would be complex. Adding a small toggle switch that cuts the connection of one of the wires to the volume control is the easiest way to get what you want.

Answer 2

You can make a kill switch out of two pieces of wire, a project box, a button, and a guitar cord. There are a few videos on you tube that can explain how to put these items together as a kill switch. here is one, if it still works:

Answer 3

If you want the easiest way to do it, just turn off the volume to one of your pickups.



The 3-way switch selecting to the no volume pickup should act kinda like a killswitch

Answer 4

i could vote for a respectable guitar when you consider which you're already an intermediate participant. a miles less costly one can not fulfill you and that is like money down the drain. stable acoustic guitar manufacturers are Goodall, McPherson, Collings, Santa Cruz, Froggy backside, Huss & Dalton, and Lowden, to call some.
