Well if you already have a tuner, why not tuner->ABY. Tuner is your kill, and the ABY is for signal routing (A, B, A+B)

I think he wants to be able to only kill one output at a time, or both- while still being able to switch between the two.
The best solution would be a purpose built buffered splitter box with output selector buttons that are close enough to stomp both at the same time with one foot. That way, you could carefully add a channel by stomping one switch at a time, perform an a>b by stomping both switches simultaneously (while only one output is active), or kill/activate both with a simultaneous stomp.
I use my TU-2 for that. Other pedal tuners mute your signal too as far as I know. And they keep you in tune.
A TU-2 would work.
So would an A/B pedal with either A or B going nowhere.

I just re-read from the top... :scowl: NOW I understand!
I think the op should just have Loop Master (or similar provider) make him 2 super-small enclosures, each with a simple "kill" function.

Just have them use a latching switch, instead of a momentary switch! Only $30 & tiny.

How about a Planet Waves circuit breaker cable?

Works great for changing basses live.

Can anyone build me a small kill switch pedal with a momentary footswitch and a off/on foot switch? PM me!!!!
Boss NS-2. Don't know if that's the way its supposed to be used, but I have it around mid-chain and use it to change basses or mute everything. Allows me to keep an eye on the TU-2 and monitor tuning if needed.
ive got a lehle switcher, you can do a, a and b, b or nothing.
and its for sale if your interested?

The simplest of killswitches is very easy. (2) mono jacks ($1.15 ea), one stomp switch ($2.50), (3) small pieces of wire (15cents), metal enclosure (price varies).
-small metal box (automatically grounds jack sleeves)
-route tip of input jack to center lug of SPDT stomp switch (or one side of a DPDT which are easier to find)
-route one outer lug of switch to the Tip of a mono output jack.
-route other outer lug to ground.
This simply sends your signal to ground, rather then continuing to an amp (or anything else). If you want to get fancy with it you can add an indicator LED (requires power)
This is two separate things in one box. At first both sides were a tap tempo with toggles to switch polarity. Now one side is still that, the other side is the killswitch. the toggle switch is no longer connected and I added an indicator LED.
If you wanted to build two of them in one enclosure, use a hammond 1290. I source pedalpartsplus.com. They'll drill holes for you for a few extra bucks, but it's easy to do yourself.
-enclosure ($5.75)
-(4) mono Jacks ($4.60)
-(2) dpdt switched ($5)
- 2ft of wire ($0.30)
Total $15.65 + shipping
optional painting ($2.25) and drilling ($3)

This is totally OT, but christ that Carl Martin Classic Opto is a big pedal. I've been thinking about getting one, but now that I've seen it in a pedal board I may have to reconsider.
yeah it's pretty big, and the odd shape doesn't help that either. The in and out jacks also are at a funny angle. I picked it up for $50 on ebay in 'brand new' condition. For that price it's worth every penny. I really like it as an always on compressor, but real estate is an issue to consider.
As for that killswitch... if one had limited pedalboard space and only needed one, you can get an enclosure about half that size. Ironically it costs more though!

David Boggs at www.loooper.com and Brian at www.loop-master.com can build exactly what you need and more and it's all custom - built to exactly what you need it to do.

If you ask them to build it with a latching switch instead of momentary, they will and it will work perfectly for your needs. You could also get them to build just about anything similar to this custom. For instance, if you wanted two in one box, they could do that.
Edit: woops someone beat me to it.
