I'd use something like CD4053s, like a SPDT switch at the input

on the output, with NC of each going to the circuit and both NO's
going to each other.

NO NO
C o-----------------------o C
------o o--> to next stage

NC NC

(The switch "wipers" (actually analog switches) are invisible in this
view.)

There's a problem with this Rich.

The CMOS IC switches can only tolerate signals that stay within their supply
rails. Since the guitar pedals are AC cooupled, the audio signal will want to
swing 'below ground'. No dice with the above unless you now introduce a negative
rail to supply Vss.

Jfets don't care though. They'll be fine.
