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.

- 8-step rotary switch for automatic kill times (400 ms - 100 ms)
