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.
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?

Right, so would it be possible to just snip a wire going to the outputs and connect them to a dpdt like you said? I guess what im asking also if that doesnt work, is if theres a master wire or whatever that I could cut to kill the sound completely. Forgive my stupidity, Im not exactly an expert on this technical jazz.

Aight. Its really simple actually, I just want to install a normally open pushbutton switch that would mute the entire gameboy when I press it. Maybe its alot more complex of an operation than Im thinking. I wouldnt know.

I have a prosound 1/4" and just the regular 1/8". I removed the speaker for lofi's pitch bend. And honestly, I dont think Im that experienced to do all that. Is there a way I could just clip a wire going to the default volume knob or just to the outputs? Ya know what Im saying?

Say I wanted to install a push button to mute the sound on my gameboy, where exactly would I put it? What wires would I need to solder to the switch? I have an eighth inch and a quarter inch jack, so is is there a master volume I can connect it to, or would I have to put it on each output jack individually?
