StarrSwitch 3+
Starr Switch 3+
The 3+ replaces the stock 5-way pickup selector in a standard Strat-style guitar. It features a soft-touch rubber keypad with an LED inside each button to indicate the pickup selection. The keypad mounts to the top of the guitar with 2-sided adhesive tape and connects through the slot provided for the old 5-way switch. The switching electronics circuit board mounts inside the guitar in the same location as the old 5-way. No cutting, drilling, or routing is required for the installation. Details…

The 4+ offers three buttons for pickup selection just as with the 3+, and an extra button for user-selectable additional functions:
The Spectrum-1, 2-stage Midrange EQ
The SP-1 is supplied with a dual-shaft pot which controls master gain, which is used for overall signal level (0-12 dB) and Overdrive at the highest settings, and a Midrange boost/cut control (-6 to +12dB). A wide variety of tonal colors is available from even stock Strat pickups by varying the adjustment of the two controls. Cut the Midrange and bump the Master Gain slightly to produce a crisp Tele sound. Keep the Gain flat but increase the Midrange control to give a fat Les Paul humbucker sound. Great for blues!!! Turn up both controls fully to unleash a full-on metal sound. At this setting the Spectrum-1 puts out a huge signal and we advise keeping the gain controls on your amp head turned low to keep the feedback within reason.
Super Squeezer
Super Squeezer
The Sq-1 is a small Compressor/Sustainer circuit installed in a guitar to give a stronger pick attack, add sustain, and to even up the frequency response of the guitar across the entire fingerboard. Details…
