I experimented a little and figured it out. Thanks guys.

i had an idea awhile back to scrap an lsdj keyboard and make a condensed version that just had the 4 mute parts for each channel. maybe put it in something the size of an altoids container and just have 4 push buttons

quik question, whats wrong with turning the volume pot up and down really fast? haha

i'm putting a push-to-make-push-to-break on one of the wires to the internal speaker.

If it's mono, you could even just use a normally open momentary switch and have it short the output to ground. Granted, you may get a slight 'pop'.

if your jack is mono, itll be way easier on finding a decent switch =]

Okay that makes sense. My 1/4" is only mono tho. Would this make a difference? or allow me to mute the original output as well?
And Pr0n, im thinking of it..how much ya do it for?

I've only been able to find normally on/closed momentary buttons are Radioshack, 3 for $5, and they sucked. I used one in a guitar killswitch and the build quality was lame, it only worked half the time. So spend the extra cash on decent switches.

you can get a momentary pushbutton that is normally on.  I bet you can find one that has two in parallel.

ill do it for you?

I'm going to guess by your saying that you've got another jack in there that you've tacomodded it?  If so look at your tacomod wires, take the one carrying the left side audio to the jack and cut it with some wire left on both sides.  Solder these ends to one set of contacts on a SPDT normally closed momentary switch (the contacts that correspond with each other.  Should be obvious, if not then test with a multimeter or check the switch's schematic) and do the same with the wire corresponding to the right side audio.  Make sure the ground wire hasn't been damaged or changed in any way.  Tadaa, you're done!  Note that this fix is simply blocking the signal from getting to the tacomod jack - this stops nothing for the speaker or the original jack.

if its just coming from the 1/4 jack, it wouldnt be as hard, no?

but what if you reeeeaaaally want to?

you can buy switches that will carry two seperate signals.

nickmaynard: that pot would actually be two. you cant really sum an analogue signal and then split it back again.

could you wire the switch to the volume knob? the single volume knob controls both the left and right signals.
