Q: What does the JHS Mute Switch Pedal do?

The JHS Mute Switch Pedal provides a simple, effective way to instantly silence your guitar or bass signal. This is perfect for tuning silently on stage, switching instruments without pops, or taking a quick break without unplugging. It ensures a clean, quiet signal path when you need to cut your sound.

Q: How do I connect and use the JHS Mute Switch?

Connect your instrument (guitar or bass) to the 1/4" input jack and your amplifier or pedalboard to the 1/4" output jack. Simply press the footswitch to toggle between muting and unmuting your signal. The LED indicator, powered by an optional 9V DC supply, clearly shows whether the pedal is active or muted.

Q: Does the JHS Mute Switch require power to operate?

The JHS Mute Switch is a passive pedal, meaning it will pass your audio signal even without power. However, a 9V DC power supply (sold separately) is required to illuminate the LED indicator, which shows whether the pedal is currently muting your signal or letting it pass through.

Q: Can I use the JHS Mute Switch with both guitar and bass?

Yes, the JHS Mute Switch is designed to work perfectly with both electric guitar and bass. Its simple, passive design ensures that it won't color your tone, making it a versatile tool for any musician needing a reliable way to mute their instrument's signal cleanly and instantly.

Need additional help?

Q: Is the JHS Mute Switch a true bypass pedal?

Yes, the JHS Mute Switch features true bypass switching. This means that when the pedal is in the "unmuted" position, your instrument's signal passes directly through without any electronic interference or tone degradation. This ensures your original tone remains pure and unaffected when the pedal is not actively muting.

No pops or crackles in the audio path when you engage this little beast! Works as advertised. Keep in mind, the light won't work if you don't plug it in, but otherwise it will function quite happily without a power supply since the rest of the box is passive.

Though the audio path is clean, the physical switch itself produces a satisfying CLICK when you press it. Wait til the recording is over or get ready for the producer to give you a light beating.

I run my lavalier mic into an old Art Tube MP preamp, into an Alesis 3630 (mostly for the gating), into the JHS Mute Switch, into my mixer, which then feeds my computer's line input. This gives me a hands off "Zoom mute" function without showing as "muted" during my Zoom calls. Fancy, eh?

JHS makes several little utility pedals, the mini AB, Sum, Splitter and this one which is a favorite, MUTE. This pedal simply shuts down your guitar signal with a light that goes from BLUE for ON to RED for OFF.

When performing and recording live I switch between guitars and between amps so it is really nice, amid all my stomp boxes, to have this little MUTE waiting to shut everything OFF so I can switch instruments safely and silently.

Made in America, works great, low in price, a killer combination of features. Thanks Josh and Thanks Sweetwater.

Good music to you!

Works perfectly as described. Very handy for performing: play w as much noise as you want, then just step on 'mute' when it's time to talk to the crowd!

This mute switch is a precise little pedal. The pedal is rugged with a solid quality switch button, and the signal path is isolated very well to ensure zero noise when engaged.

It seems simple but this little switch makes life so much simpler. In one of the groups I work with two of us play bass and this makes switching instruments so much faster and easier.
