"Serious Tone for the Serious Musician"

This is a three button keypad which replaces the stock 3-way or 5-way selector switch found on Strat-style guitars. It allows you options a standard switch won’t allow, such as the outer two pickups or all three simultaneously. Besides these options it provides faster and quieter switching through the addition of muting circuitry which eliminates switching transients when selections are made. No cutting or drilling required.

This offers everything the 3+ does, but has an added fourth button. This fourth function is jumper selectable to implement any of several options. It may be used as a mute switch, a coil splitter for up to two humbucking pickups, a selector for a fourth pickup, or a selector for its own on-board FX loop. When the FX loop is used with any Starrswitch preamp, the preamp may be plugged directly into the switch without the need for any soldering. Very Cool!

This active preamp is a two-stage design optimized to control the midrange tonal characteristics of electric guitars and basses. A dual-section pot is provided to replace one of your existing tone controls. Section #1 adjusts the level of broadband signal gain. Use this to boost the entire signal for a "hotter" overdriven sound. Section #2 sets the level of boost or cut for the frequency band from 700 Hz to 1200 Hz. You can use this control to add midrange for a fuller, fatter tone or cut your midrange for a crisper, cleaner sound. You can simulate the sounds of other preamps, other guitars, go from a thick overdriven sound to a sharp, country tone, etc. An extremely versatile addition to your guitar.

This is a small compressor/sustainer circuit which can be mounted directly in your guitar. It is equipped with two small trimpots which control the output level and operation threshold for the circuit. Both of these pots may be set up and then left as the squeezer will require no further adjustment once installed in the guitar. The super squeezer adds punch to the attack of your guitar sound and evens out the dynamic response of the entire fingerboard. It livens the response of the guitar’s upper octave, giving more body to your high notes while adding a long, clean sustain to your overall sound.

This is the same cool preamp that comes installed in the Joe Perry model Les Paul. Basically it puts a wah-wah pedal in your guitar. Pull out on the push-pull pot for a 16 db boost in output and tones ranging from a low-end growl to ear-piercing screams with tons more sustain and feedback. Let’s you find that sweet spot that each guitar has to make your leads sound fat and meaty.
