Product Description

Since rock music began to go wild and loud in the 1960's the machine-gun sound effect with an electric guitar is one of the most important characteristics. If you strum a chord, turn the volume of one pickup down the other pickup on and move your toggle fast up and down, it shreds your sound. This is the so called machine-gun sound effect which you can listen in countless rock songs. So far so good - but those radical actions destroyed innumerable toggle switches. Now, Shadow solved this annoying problem: The SH 124 Kill Pot is a unique potentiometer with a momentary push switch for electric guitars, which momentarily kills the sound by stroking it up and down. By pushing it up and down quickly it creates an extraordinary sound effect which is known from the wild Rock' n Roll days - you can now create your own machine gun sound effect with your guitar. This preserves your toggle switch and is much more comfortable to handle. You can install the SH 124 Kill Pot easily in any common electric guitar. Because of its 16 mm bushing, it even suits arch-top guitars. The Kill Pot replaces the standard potentiometer of your electric guitar. It is up to you if you choose to replace your volume or tone pot. Of course, by replacing your standard potentiometer with the SH 124 Kill Pot you do not lose the feature of the old one. You can also control either the volume or tone with the Kill Pot - and additionally it gives you the opportunity to easily create an astonishing sound effect. The SH 124 guarantees 2 million of those pushes which assures numerous machine-gun sounds. From this point of view, the SH 124 Kill Pot is a real "killer"!

Shadow SH-124-500K Kill Pot Review

This is a simple, yet innovative idea. Put a kill switch in a volume or tone pot.

I googled this product before purchasing and saw that many people had problems wiring it in correctly. It's not their fault, the wiring diagram that accompanies the switch is not easy to follow. I was able to get it wired in, but it wasn't initially obvious how to wire it. The company should have a non-technical person preview the instructions before publishing them with the product. It is actually very simple to wire in once you understand their diagram.

Another drawback is that they only seem to use logarithmic taper pots, not linear taper pots. With a log taper pot you don't experience much change in the tone until you have dialed the pot back about 80%. I have mine wired in as a tone pot and would have greatly preferred a linear taper pot be used instead.

The quality seems pretty good. Very little travel is required to invoke the kill switch. I wired mine up as a tone control, but I put it in the volume position on my guitar so I can push it with my pinky finger while at the same time using the tremolo bar.
