Hi OGD,

No, I didn't see that..I'm off to work, but I'll want to do 
a "search" for it later and check it out for sure! 
It think it sounds similar to what I was thinking, minus my idea of 
installing switches to eliminate having to unplug the cables...?

I did build something similar before, but a much more simple design 
for my guitar to switch between guitar amps. This was before I had a 
rack-mount multi-FX unit with a multi-switch pedal that could switch 
an almost unlimited amount of settings, volumes, distortions FX's 
etc...So I dropped my home-made amp switcher!
