EVH Kill Switch

The EVH Kill Switch is finally here! This is the same kill switch on the EVH Wolfgang and 5150 Guitars.

The EVH Kill Switch comes equipped with an internal LED and a built-in resistor, allowing you to connect any 9V battery directly to the switch without needing an additional external resistor. You can operate the switch with or without a 9V battery since the kill switch functions independently from the LED.

This means that even if the battery runs out or becomes disconnected, the switch will still work. When used with active pickups and/or a stereo output jack (not included), the EVH Kill Switch does not require the included on/off rocker switch.

This kit includes:

(1) 16mm Momentary Guitar Kill Switch – This is the same kill switch on the EVH Wolfgang and 5150 Guitars.
(1) Quick-Connect wiring bundle that includes:
(1) Black ground wire
(1) White hot wire
(1) 9V Battery Harness
(1) On/Off Rocker Switch
(1) Set of easy-to-follow wiring instructions
(9V battery not included)
