As soon as the revolutionary potentiometer SH 124 Kill Pot for Electric guitars and basses was released in 2009 it immediately received an enormous demand from musicians all over the world. The SH 124 Kill Pot is a unique potentiometer with a momentary push switch for Electric guitars which momentarily kills the sound by pushing it in and out. By pushing it in and releasing it quickly it creates an extraordinary sound effect. Because of the great popularity of the Kill Pot, Shadow extended the line.
