POTEM Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I had this idea to put a kill switch on a guitar but replace the switch with some kind of button, like off of an arcade game. Has anyone ever done this snd if so did it work well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 It'll work fine. Someone (reasonably famous) has done it before - but I'm having a hard time remembering who! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 There is a very good topic in the archives about this, including wiring diagrams depending on whether you want sound or silence when you push the button.

fookgub Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Real arcade buttons are big. No way one will fit in a standard thickness guitar. There are many kinds of momentary pushbutton switches that will fit, though. As others have said, use the search... this topic has been discussed to death.

CrazyManAndy Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 It'll work fine. Someone (reasonably famous) has done it before - but I'm having a hard time remembering who! Are you thinking of Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave)? CMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 http://tinyurl.com/ysm72s would be cool. and afaik tom morello uses a standard type switch, i think it may be buckethead who uses a push button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
