Frequently asked questions
What's the main functional difference between these two switches?
The 3 Position Switch selects between three different signal paths (typically three pickups or tonal positions), while the Kill Switch is a simple ON-OFF mute that cuts signal instantly. They serve completely different purposes in your signal chain.
Can I use the Kill Switch as a traditional three-way selector?
No. The Kill Switch is strictly an ON-OFF toggle for muting or creative effects. It does not select between multiple signal sources like a three-position selector does.
Are both switches solderless and beginner-friendly?
Yes, both use EMG's solderless connector system and require no soldering. Both are suitable for beginners through professionals and work with standard EMG active pickup harnesses.
Which switch is better for live performance?
Both are listed as suitable for live performance, but for different reasons: the 3 Position Switch lets you switch between tones mid-song, while the Kill Switch gives you instant mute control for dramatic effects or accidental silence.
