Beatrix B's link is through a Russian server, it's most likely a viral web link. Do NOT click on. As for the question, I don't know of any device that will do what you want. Sorry.

Interesting question! I can't imagine that such a device does not already exist, but if it doesn't - it should be hard at all to build if you know anyone with a little electronic handiness. After all, you are talking about rigging up two or three small toggle switches to a small box with a two or three way quarter inch jack to run a chord to the amp.

Years ago Radio Shack sold an add on that did that other than that I don't know.

A channel switching device is more complicated than one would assume. Marshall still have problems with their foot switches. Anyway the idea is that using your feet to change channels frees up your hands to keep playing so wouldn't switching channels with your hand slow the process down?

There is no such device that I know of. But why would you want it to be hand accessable? That would get in the way. Get a footswitch with true bypass and your problem is solved.
