Description
The SH 124 Kill Pot is a unique potentiometer with a momentary push switch for electric guitars. It momentarily kills the sound by pushing it down and automatically springs back when released. This can be used create extraordinary machine gun sound effects, or other rhythmic muting without sacrificing the life of your toggle switch. You can install the SH 124 Kill Pot easily in any common electric guitar, and because of its 16 mm bushing it even suits arch-top guitars like Les-Pauls. The SH 124 replaces either the standard volume or tone potentiometer of your electric guitar but still functions as a standard potentiometer so you do not lose any control.
This pot is meant for humbucking pickups.

I first bought one of these to play the intro to the Helix version of Gimme Gimme Good Lovin’.
I don’t use it a lot, but I like having it, so I bought a second one.
More important to me than the kill switch is that the pot turns very smoothly. I use volume swells frequently, and I like the feel of this pot.
It is not as stiff as the original pots in my Fender and Jackson guitars
