I recently got a 4P4T rotary switch, any ideas of a circuit to use it in?
That's so funny. Most people start with an IC, or some cool transistors, or perhaps a specific pedal type like a Fuzz or a Modulation pedal.
You start with rotary switches. Cool.
If it were me, I'd use it for a wah, but that's because I have a Wah PCB and no parts. Another option would be the Matchbox from ROG.

An attenuator like the Dr. Z Brake Lite?
I don't really have any other parts that warrant something, I just thought this was real cool.
Wahs use a 4P4T? I've only messed with my guitarist's wah once, a dunlop.
That attenuator doesn't look like anything I'd be interested in, I use a solid state combo that has resonant freq. issues, so I don't really like overdrive with it.

The usual Wah doesn't use a 4P4T, but you could build a "4-in-1-wah" with that switch. I built one with 3P4T, the switch switches Q res, Cf, and input C, and I kinda have 4 different wha's in one.
Oh yeah - Wah's don't usually use a 4P4T switch - but you can use it to some cap and resistor changes if you want. I was assuming it was rotary...
