SH 124 Kill Pot: The Machine Gun At Your Fingertips
 
Since music began to go wild and loud in the 1960’s, the 'machine-gun' sound effect with an electric guitar has been one of the most important characteristics.

If you strum a chord, turn the volume of one pickup down the other pickup on and move your toggle fast up and down, it shreds your sound. This is the so called machine-gun sound effect which you can hear on countless rock songs. That's all very well, but those radical actions destroyed innumerable toggle switches.

Now, Shadow have solved this age-old problem: The SH 124 Kill Pot is a unique potentiometer with a momentary push switch for electric guitars, which momentarily kills the sound simply by pressing the top. This preserves your toggle switch and is much more comfortable to handle - plus it opens up a whole world of new musical possibilities.

You can install the SH 124 Kill Pot easily in any regular electric guitar and because of its 16 mm bushing, it even suits arch-top guitars. The Kill Pot replaces the standard potentiometer of your electric guitar.

Of course, by replacing your standard potentiometer with the SH 124 Kill Pot you do not lose the function of the old one. You can control either the volume or tone with the Kill Pot – and additionally it gives you the opportunity to easily create an astonishing sound effect - plus the SH 124 Kill Pot guarantees 2 million 'Kills', so that should keep you going for quite some time.
