Guitar Kill Switch-Output Mute Switch

This guitar wiring modification shows how to wire a normally open switch as a kill switch or output mute. Note: To do Bucket Head "Telegraph" style muting, use a normally open momentary switch. This will allow the audio to be muted when the switch is pressed down but automatic comes back on when the switch is released.
