KillPick!

Have you ever thought that your killswitch was hard to reach or was hard to use?
Well I accidently created something called a "KillPick"!
It is basicly a pick that kills the sound every time you touch the strings!
I know, sounds a little unusable, but it has many uses, many of which I have yet to figure out!
You can make it sound like you are picking twice as fast or eliminate the scrape you get every time you switch chords or try to mute the strings!
 
It is basically a metal pick attached to a wire that leads to the POSITIVE end of the output in your guitar. Your strings should be grounded so it immediatly cuts off the sound. 
 
Problems includ that you can't do sweeps. It also makes a high pitch buzz. If you wrap thwe pick up, then it isn't near as loud but it is still there.
Happy Picking!!

Damn...that actually seems like it could be really cool. The only guitarist I know of that has a killswitch is Buckethead xD

I'm not really up to screwing around inside my electric right now, it was 300 bucks and in my current financial state...well that may as well be 3,000.

Still, work out the bugs in that and it could become really useful man! Take some pics of it or something?
