Had a crazy idea last night. Clean boosters are a fairly simple circuit. A killswitch pedal could be easily built, wouldn't even require a power source and could potentially give you some cool stuttering effects.
Would it be possible to build a combined killswitch/booster housed in the same enclosure and using only one footswitch and one mini toggle?
So you'd have the boost circuit, turn it off or on with the footswitch, or throw the toggle and use the same footswitch as a bypass/cutoff killswitch.
The bypass path would then be the same for both pedal modes and the toggle switch would change which part of the circuit is engaged in non-bypass.
Possible at all? Or would it need to be built with two separate footswitches?
