I took this tack with the Walker Manual Glitch pedal, though we just 
used the same kinds of buttons found on the footcontroller
of the EDP.  I just had a switch that would reverse the switches (one 
way, letting sound in,  the other way, stopping sound with a momentary
hit).     Unfortunately,   we deconstructed the large prototype pedal to 
put it into a smaller profile and the person helping me to build that 
pedal got really busy no longer has time to work on it. It's probably 
never going to be made........:-(

I had just heard, however,  that,  some people had used video game 
controllers because they were vastly faster than other switches.
I"m just wondering what the actual switches are.

I also suppose that it wouldn't be too difficult to have a switch that 
reversed the function of each "kill switch".
