Rodenberg Killmister 2025

Rodenberg Killmister 2025 is een very compact pedal and a so-called killswitcher which kills your sound temporary, or with a certain speed.

This is a brutal, flexible pedal, uncompromisingly tuned for live performance. With the new 2025 version, the iconic momentary kill switch becomes a dynamic effect tool with a continuously adjustable auto-kill mode.

Use the rugged rotary knob to control the effect in real time. With the knob all the way to the left it operates in classic mode – the signal is muted only while the footswitch is held down. Perfect for sharp cuts, rhythmic accents, and live stutter effects à la Tom Morello or Buckethead.
As soon as you start turning the knob, the auto-kill mode activates. The signal is now muted at regular intervals – the more you turn, the faster the pulse. Fully turned up, the kill rate will be approx. 100 ms – the result is a machine-gun-like effect, perfect for glitch-style patterns or aggressive signal slicing.

Please note: Like its predecessor, the pedal uses a genuine mechanical relay. This relay produces a slight “click” sound, which may be audible when using slow kill rates or playing long, sustained notes.

The pedal is powered by a standard power supply (9-18 volts) which is not included.
