switching a multi effect unit

Hey all;

I'm thinking of building a remote switching system for a rack mount multi effects unit (for guitar). Most have a bypass footwsitch input on them, and I know for channel switching on most guitar amps it's just a simple connect-to-ground kind of thing. Does anyone know if it's the same thing on these effects units? Obviously, I know that they aren't all going to be the same, but I was wondering if anyone has had some experience with them that might be able to clue me in. All I need to do is bypass the unit, nothing fancy like patch changes, etc.

Thanks

What is the model number of the effects unit?

Hi max;

Thanks for the reply. I found an owner's manual for a Lexicon MPX100, and it appears that the bypass jack (for a remote momentary contact footswitch) is a toggle function (i.e., stomping the pedal once turns it bypasses the unit, and stomping it again un-bypasses it). I have a feeling that that is how most of them would work.

I appear to have answered my own question in this case, but it you have anything to add I'd be glad to hear it.

Thanks again.
