We design and produce our switched tone control circuit and its preamp ourselves.
Unlike what is common on the market, the switch connections are not made with wires. Instead, the printed circuit board (PCB) the switches are mounted on is designed so that our circuit is free of cable clutter.
As a result, the switches last longer, interference caused by wires is eliminated, and a more modern way of assembling is possible.
Our switched tone control system uses our preamp circuit, which steadily boosts the signal from the pickups before it reaches a mixer or amp.

Frequently asked questions
What sets Switch Ton apart from other switched tone circuits?
The switches are mounted directly on the printed circuit board (PCB) instead of being wired. This removes wiring clutter, eliminates interference caused by wires and makes the switches last longer.
What controls does the preamp have?
Volume, bass and treble controls, plus a treble boost input. The preamp boosts the signal from the pickups steadily before it reaches a mixer or amp.
How much battery does it use?
The preamp draws only 0.6 mA, so the battery lasts a long time.
Does it add background noise?
The preamp is designed for minimal background noise and a cleaner tone, and the printed circuit board is double-layer.
