Got one of these the other day, ordered it online, it arrived and I noticed that when I push down on of of the tone knobs it cuts off the sound, there is a click when you push it, almost like a button.

I have never encountered this before. At first I though it was a faulty guitar and I would have to bring it back but now I think it might be a feature with the guitar.

Can anyone clarify is this is a fault or a feature of the guitar

That tone control also acts as a kill switch
