RE: Semi-OT: EHX Killswitch...



I'm guessing that live music is often VERY F*KING LOUD!!
So it never occurs to the designers to invent something as subtle as quiet switches ;-)
If you read Harmony Central reviews it seems that most, (guitarists at least), seem to spend their time kicking pedals around the stage and spilling beer on them before allowing them to drop out of the back of the van on their way home after a gig... It's all a bit testosteronial if you ask me.
I've always liked my zoom 8080 plastic,(silent) switches and plastic pedals which have been with me all around the UK, Europe, Japan and over to the USA - and STILL working a treat , (though superceded for sheer loveliness by the line6 M13).

Peace
