It doesn’t lock in place so the signal comes back when the switch is let go of. It makes slight clicking sound and has a nice feeling when it is pressed as the click can be felt in the action of the switch. The inbuilt LED that can be hooked up to a 9v battery to add a super cool red glow to your axe.
The switch can be wired two ways -

1) Wire the switch so the signal passes through it normally (when the button isn't pressed) and it will cut the signal when the button is pressed.

2) Wire the live wire to one side and the ground to the other side so that when the button is pressed it connects the live to ground and cuts the signal.

LED Wiring -

Hook up a 9v battery to the - and + lugs of the switch.

To reserve the battery power cut the negative wire and join the ends to the lugs of a stereo jack (the lugs that are connected by the shaft of the lead when the lead is plugged into the jack). The circuit will be switched on when the guitar is plugged in and disengaged when it's unplugged.
