I'm really not very good (yet) with electronics, and I need a solution to
what seems to be a simple problem.  I'm a guitar player and I have 2 switches
to control my system.  One is a momentary switch to switch programs on my 
effects unit.. when I press it down and release it, the program gets changed.

The other switch is an on-off type switch to change the setting on my amp
from clean to distorted.  What I need is a third switch... an on off switch
that also acts as momentary signal to my effects unit... for instance if
I was on the distorted channel on my amp, I would press this switch and it
would change the amp to clean and send the momentary signal to my effects unit
to change the program.  Then when I pressed it again, the amp would go back to
distorted and the program would change.

A simple explanation or schematic would be VERY much appreciated. I'm counting 
on the cumulative knowledge contained in this folder... !!

Thanks in advance... a reply here or via mail would be great !!
