       If it was me, I suppose I'd take one of my stompboxes (ideally one
with true bypass) and set the gain or volume to zero- when the box was
"on", there'd be no signal, when "off", the (true bypassed) signal. Of
course, if you need all your pedals all the time, then you'd have to look
at other options (which I'm sure exist out there).
