Hey guys
What is it that Buckethead is constantly pressing instead of strumming in this clip, a killswitch? What is a killswitch anyway? Buckethead - Jordan |

Very cool effect. I did it on Gibson long ago. Turn the volume knob off from the neck pickup and leave just the bridge one full open. When I am switching between these two positions I get the same effect. I learned it in 1990 from Kee Marcello (Europe).

A long time ago I was searching for that effect and I found these vids, I hope this helps you in anyway.

I have kill switches on two of my guitars......still haven't found an opportunity to use it much. Maybe in Emir's next collab.

I made myself a killswitch, but I got to admit, I don't actually use it much.

If a killswitch simply "kills" the sounds, how can it then be used to create sounds?

Also, tap at his pace on the body of your guitar (say, near the volume pot) while fretting the 12th fret of your 6th string. Hear anything? That will vibrate the strings even after he releases the button. By releasing and pressing again, as he is tapping it vigorously, he is effectively "gating" the signal coming from the instrument. The fun part is that you control the gate tempo & rhythm with your own picking hand, rather than programming one into your DAW or some effects processor. edit: further, he will also use legato timed with the engaged switch watch how he plays jumpman or jordan.
