Good thought, but most of those switches were of horrible quality, the signal 
was severely degraded in bypass mode. Even if you could easily get such a 
switch, I wouldn't want to use it.

The degradation usually varied a lot from channel to channel, indicating a 
severe mis-match causing standing waves and non-flat operation.
