Thinking about making a kill switch pedal so I don't have to turn my amp down to unplug something without buzzing. It sounds simple, and how would I go about doing this?

Okay I didn't think this through before posting. All I would have to do is make it so that when the switch is engaged it goes to ground, correct?

Couldn't you use A for the amp, and B for quiet (no cable or amp hooked up to B)

Yes! A single pole switch between signal and ground will suffice.

You can for instance use a (part no.P-110-P) Carling Single Pole Single Throw Switch (SPST switch) price 6 USD or a (part no.P-112-P) Carling Single Pole Double Throw Switch (SPDT) price 8 USD at Tube Depot.The P-112-P is the same switch as the Dunlop ECB-69 which is the original switch for a Crybaby and might be easier to find.It could also be cheaper in some stores.The most important thing is that the switch is sturdy enough to step on.
Good luck!
