Description
THE KING ‘TONE’ SWITCH
Opens The Door To Tone.
New smaller size. 6 (King)Tone Positions. 16 Treble Bleed Settings. The Kingtone Switch gives you tones you didn’t know your guitar could make. Adds fatness and edge to your tone. Better vibrato tracking. String bending becomes more articulate. Adds a tube’y, hollow quality to every note. With the new treble-bleed option you can now fine tune your treble bleed settings with 16 options covering all commonly used treble-bleed configurations and several un-explored options, including adding top-end when the volume is reduced or very subtle settings which are halfway between. The treble-bleed circuit is bypassed in position 1 so it wont mess with your fuzz tones. If you already have a treble bleed circuit in your guitar, you can permanently disable the treble-bleed option. It only takes 5 minuets to install.

The king tone switch is a great extension of your Strat tone palette! When you are playing fat blues rock, this is a great tool and offers a wide extra tonal range!

This is a really cool product. I purchased on a whim for a weekend project. Since I only use one tone control on my strats, I’ve been looking for a simple mod to play around with and thought this would be a good start. I’m completely blown away! It opens up many tonal options increasing mids and bass as you turn the switch. It works particularly well with overdriven sounds and may replace overdrives that I use for different textures and tones. I look forward to trying the SRV style in the future!

I just wanted to share my thoughts on my recent installation of the Kingtone Classic Switch on my SSH Stratocaster.
Overall…. Love it!!
I wired it so it workes on “All Pick Up Selections” along with a Fender TBX Pot which is much more useable than your standard Tone Pot.
In position 2, which just engages the “Treble-Bleed” function, it Frigg’n works perfectly to maintain your tone while lowering your Volume!
Now using a combination of the additional selections on the Switch & the TBX Pot, you can easily adjust your tone based on your Pick-Up selection.
Bravo Jesse,…. “Great Design”
