Does anyone make something that does this...?

[DumpyWumpy]

I want a pedal that you use to cut your signal to stop hum/noise/feedback during pauses in songs and stuff, but instead of using like a tuner pedal where I have to press it once to cut my signal and hit it again to bring it back, I want something where it only cuts the signal while I'm holding the pedal down...I think it would be a pretty easy pedal to build, it sounds simple to me, but I don't know what the hell I'm doing so I would have to get someone else to do it for me...does anyone know of a pedal like this or does anyone here build/know anyone who builds pedals who I might be able to hire to build something like this for me? I know a volume pedal would sort of do the trick, but I want something abrupt without fading in/out...

Haven't you ever heard of a noise gate???

[DumpyWumpy]

:P Yeah of course, haha...but this still seems like a useable idea to me!

Very simple.... a momentary on/off switch. I bet Ace could make it no problemo.

You mean momentary.

[RacerX]

Yeah....

Didnt they used to make a guitar cable that had a cut off switch at the input plug? How about a kill switch on the guitar?

[Twisteramps]

yeah, that would be cake to build... two jacks, a little wire, and a momentary dpdt switch. You might have some switch noise though when you turn it off/on, however. Or just find an old effect you aren't using that's true bypass and don't put a battery in it.

Yep. Got one on my Seagull.

Yeah, I think Planet Waves makes it. Has anyone tried it? It would be great for switching guitars during a set.

Is it so hard to quickly turn down the volume control?

Yep, I love my Planet Waves cable. It works great. No noise at all while switching out guitars.

I have one of these too, this feature is very nice for switching instruments.

i also have one of those planet waves cables....the switching indeed is noiseless, but the cable is unreliable as hell. it was my main cable during a 3 week tour, and after 2 weeks it was broken....nono.
planet waves stuff in general is nice, though. nowadays i'm using regular PW cables and never had a problem.
