I first got the idea of a guitar killswitch from Mr. Morello,but intsead of a toggle,using a push-button momentary push-button switch.I thought it was a original idea until i saw Buckethead in concert about 4 years ago.There goes my idea down the tubes.lol Anyways,I've always had a problem with the switch making "Clicks" when you press it on-off.Here's a video of a someone demonstrating the clicking sound; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RSlh-npdQg&app=desktop I have the same "square-type" switch like the dude in the video,except mine is a little bigger,which allows you to do the cool super fast stuttering effect sounds with two fingers.Is there a fix for this problem?

I just designed a new fuzz circuit! It almost sounds a little different than the last fifty fuzz circuits I designed! ;)

Thanks!There was a lot of ideas on there.One guy said 1M resistor across the lugs.R.G. used a J-Fet,.01 cap,and a 4.7M resistor.I wonder if just using a 4.7M resistor across the two lugs would do it?

Ive wanted to do a killswitch, but i dont really want to drill holes in my guitar to install it. Possibly make some kind of killswitch pedal?
Think for yourself, question authority.
