Perhaps any guitar players out there might know the answer. Is there a standard configuration from footswitches for amps? What I'm thinking about is the footswitch that lets you select the amp's "channel" you play through.

I'm interested in this because I started daydreaming about a footswitch controller router MOTM panel. Something with 3 routes: bypass, route1, and route2. The footswitch has three buttons, and you select which channel you like just by tapping on it (i.e., no cycling through). Perhaps an internal jumper that selects how the non-selected channels are muted: before send (which allows any trailing sounds from a reverb or chorus to gradually die off) or after return (which would cut off any trailing sounds but would also prevent any sound generated in-route from coming through).
