Don't buy it!

Johnny.Pea 18.08.2025

If you're going through the hassle of making room in a guitar for the kill switch (which in my case included the drilling of the guitar wood) and do all the prep work, you spend 30€ on the thing, install everything and THEN find out that it's not responsive in any musical way? It's a big NO.
Kill switch must be fast, precise and responsive. This one is none. Expected a quality product from EMG.
(Ofc this has nothing to do with Thomann, they were great as always.)
Hope this saves someone some money and hassle.

Easy to install, great little killswitch

Postchord 08.02.2025

Installation was really easy using the EMG solderless kit (I previously installed the H4 and H4A in my Kelly) - installation took mere minutes. I personally swapped out the tone knob for this so needed to file out the old hole a little to make this fit. Feels rugged enough but not bulky or in the way.

Kann ich leider nicht empfehlen

Tester0815 22.06.2023

Folgendes Szenario: Ich habe eine Ibanez mit EMG81 und 85 drin. Die hat ein Poti-Loch, dass unbenutzt ist. Hm... da könnte man ja was reinmachen. Killswitch? Warum nicht?

Leider ist dieser federgeladene (schätze ich?) Killswitch von EMG meiner Meinung nach nicht empfehlenswert. Größter Kritikpunkt ist die Responsivität und der Druckpunkt. Auf gut Deutsch: Du drücke - Schalter macht kein Kill. So sind rhythmische Figuren (Tom Morello?) eher eine Glückssache.

Wenn Ihr Euch fragt was genau ich meine: Hattet Ihr mal eine PC-Tastatur, die den Buchstaben nur angenommen hat, wenn man die Taste richtig auf den Punkt runtergedrückt hat? So ist es auch hier - nur unzuverlässiger.

Schade. Aber toller Service von Thomann, wie immer!

Ville testa något nytt på gitarren

MrSaiZo 11.02.2024

Ville experimentera lite med ljudet på min gitarr.

Då jag har sett en massa andra artister med liknande, men ville inte ha något stort, började jag kolla lite omdömen, läsa lite om den dessutom.

Jag har inte upplevt att den är "svår" att använda eller att man måste trycka jätte hårt för att den skall fungera.

Enkel att installera, dock är den kopplad i ett Fishman Fluence classic system, men verkar fungera bra ändå.
