I'm thinking of making a
switch box that would multiplex
different (guitar) AMP's into the switch
that connects to a speaker cab.

Searching for switch boxes tends to yield
1 amp to many speakers.

I'm looking for a cheap opposite ;} :

_______________ +
Amp ---- - _________ Cab +
_______________ Rotary -----
Amp ----
_______________
Amp ----


This is all for passive switching.
No more than 1 Amp will be powered on.

My confusion is I'm not quite sure what the naming
scheme used in rotary to deplict this wiring, and how to identify
exactly what to order.

say from:


http://us.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Cat=1114210;keywords=rotary switch


In this example above ... I think I'm
looking for a 3 Position, double pole,
switch ? Non-Shorting ?

I'm thinking about 5 amp rating too (100w Amp into 4 ohms max ).


In this 3 position switch ... what is the
common connection lugs called ( to the cabinet ) called ?
Is it a 4th pole ?

Suggestions welcomed.
