About

I was really impressed by these kill switches after inspecting/using one, they have a couple of useful features which I’ll touch on in a moment, that make them great for guitar mods. I am now a UK authorised dealer for Tesi Switch and you’ll find a great selection of their kill switches here in stock at the Home of Tone!

The IDO Super M 10MM kill switch is perfect for the player that doesn’t want to make a major modification to their guitar. This is the perfect size to replace a standard CTS style 3/8″ / 9.52mm mounting thread diameter potentiometer. If you have a smaller pots on an Asian import guitar, only minimal modification to the hole is required, or you can instead purchase the 8mm version also available here! Metric/Far eastern spec pots are typically 8mm

Installation

These are nice and easy to install, two solder connections required but if you have any concerns about installing I highly recommend having a skilled guitar repairer to carry out the install for you to save any issues caused. Some useful fitting instructions can be found . Or alternatively, if you are local, then I am more than happy to carry out professional installation here. Please check out the Guitar Services page

It is supplied with 8″ of black and white pre-soldered wire length, so you simply solder the other end of the wire in it’s desired position (jack + and point of ground for example) and mount the switch.

This switch can be used with active or passive pickups with no additional parts required.
