Description

Edit description

Unleash the raw power of your electric guitar with the Rodenberg Killmister Auto Kill Switch, an innovative tool for musicians who crave total control over their sound. This pedal is more than just an effect; it's a true bypass gateway to sonic manipulation. Featuring a unique 8-step rotary switch, it allows you to set automatic kill times ranging from 400 ms down to a rapid 100 ms, with the eighth step mimicking a machine-gun fire effect at 50 ms.

Designed for musicians who want precision in their performance, the Killmister offers a hard kill via reed relay, distinguishing it from a typical tremolo effect. The intuitive footswitch doubles as an effect bypass, providing manual kill options when held down. As long as you press on, the pedal silences your tone at the preset rate, offering unparalleled versatility on stage or in the studio.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this pedal is handmade in Germany, ensuring robust quality and reliability. The status LED illuminates during the kill cycle, keeping you informed at every step. With 6.3 mm jack inputs and outputs, and a power consumption of just 30 mA, it operates via a 9-18 V DC mains adapter, making it a straightforward addition to any setup.

Key Features:

8-step rotary switch for automatic kill times (400 ms - 100 ms)
Manual and automatic kill options with footswitch control
Hard kill via reed relay, not a tremolo effect
True bypass for pure signal integrity
LED status indicator for kill cycle
6.3 mm input/output jacks
Powered by 9-18 V DC mains adapter (not included)
Handmade in Germany

Rodenberg Amplification Introduces the KILLMISTER Automatic Kill Switch Pedal – No Treble

notreble.com

Rodenberg's KILLMISTER Auto Kill Switch offers a range of creative stutter effects with eight adjustable cutoff settings, making it a versatile addition for bassists seeking unique sound modulation. However, its reliance on a power supply and absence of battery operation may deter some players looking for portability. While it's praised for its true bypass and solid construction, the price of $90 might be a consideration for budget-conscious musicians.
