EVH Kill Switch

Description

The Official Eddie Van Halen Kill Switch is here!

The EVH Kill Switch features an internal LED and has a built-in resistor which allows any 9V battery to be connected directly to the switch without using any additional external resistor. You can use the switch with or without a 9V battery, as the kill switch functions separately from the LED. So it will still work if the battery runs out or becomes disconnected. 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.
