If you were going to build a wah pedal that has a secondary function/footswitch (like the old Shin-Ei Fuzz Wah, for example) but using a standard Crybaby style enclosure how would you prefer to handle the secondary footswitch?
Here's a few ideas so far...
Kick switch on the side or back of the pedal
This would be a momentary footswitch or arcade style switch mounted into the side of the enclosure housing that could be kicked with the side of your foot to toggle the secondary effect. The drawback here is that there could be issues on a tight/crowded pedalboard.
Footswitch jack for connecting an separate external footswitch
This would allow you to connect an external footswitch or other type of effect controllers to toggle the secondary effect. The secondary effect could default to "ON" when no footswitch is connected.
Multi-Function primary footswitch
This would use the standard wah "toe-down" footswitch to control the secondary effect so extra switches/jacks would be required. From bypass click once for wah, click again for wah + secondary effect, click again to return to bypass. (or similar functionality)
