Duggy Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Right, I found an spst switch iny a hotwheels thing my little bro used to use. It's a slider one, you know, not sure how to put it... so I will let google images do it for me I don't want to do any drilling to my guitar (Ibanez RG570) because i treasure it too much and would cry if I messed it up. I remember seeing a vid on youtube of some kid who installed a killswitch into a les paul junior (i think) and had it monuted externally somwhere. Any ideas on where I could put a switch. I'm thiking taping it somwhere, but tape would leave that sticky gunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNichols Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 a SPST switch will make a terrible killswitch. If the signal isn't grounded when the switch kills it, you get lots of nasty buzz. if you can wire it to connect the signal to the jack in one position and connect the signal to ground in another it should work better. killswitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggy Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Uhhh.... I test wired it on my older RG, and there no buzz. I connected the middle lug on the volume pot to the middle lug on the spst, and the right lug of the vol pot to the right lug of the spst. No buzz....

BNichols Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 oh ok. so you used the SPST to either allow the signal to go to ground or not to. Its in parallel wiring, not series so thats why it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
