RE: Momentary Mute Pedal (not loop related)

How about an A/B switch - where only one side is patched to anything?

       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).
