The Tesi BR LATCH is an amazing dual-function guitar kill switch that acts as both a momentary and a latching kill switch.
This listing is for the 16MM kill switch in Black with BLUE and RED LEDs. Please check my other auctions to see what other colors are in stock!
Have you wondered what a guitar kill switch can do for you? Think about the rhythmic possibilities by adding a kill switch to your guitar. If you add TWO kill switches to the same guitar you can find interesting ways to syncopate along with complex drum lines or insane double kick beats.
Now, with this new latching/momentary kill switch you really can have it all. There are two 'click' levels. The first is a momentary position that allows the rapid stuttering of your instrument. The second will latch the switch so that the guitar stays muted. Want to wire it the other way? Go ahead. It's easy to do. The BR LATCH will include a wiring diagram to get you going, but you can also find additional wiring diagrams on the Tesi Switch website.
The LED will change color when you hit the switch. The default is ON=BLUE, OFF=RED, but changing it is as simple as reversing the quick-connect wires that attach to the battery.
Be the first to show off this insane mod at shows. Call attention to your guitar wielding prowess with kill switch skills.

The Tesi Switch Difference:
We test every switch before packaging it. As a result, the failure rate is less than 1%. We package the 12MM and larger switches in a custom cut foam block and place in a small box for protection. The box also includes a couple of Tesi Switch guitar picks, as well as all the wiring necessary to install in an active or passive system, and we are always happy to help with installation questions.
If something does go wrong, our switches have a 1-Year Guarantee against defect or failure.
