dual rotary switch?

[corbs]

does anyone know if a dual rotary switch - ie 2x3pole 4way controlled by one turn of a switch - exists at all?

edit: it's just occurred to me that i'm actually looking for a 6P4T switch?

Have you tried http://www.electro-nc.com/?  They have a plethora of rotary switch options.

Here's the "high end" solution:

but, search for
stackable rotary switches
stacking rotary switches

there's stuff out there, should be able to do it in two wafers. (= 24 contacts)

hmm its a bit high end for me, i've got a feeling those guys would only take a trade order. would it be easier to get in the form of a slideswitch?

It is there; I buy them regularly but I only need one pole. You can choose to have 3 input signal switched in 4 different directions (total of 12 connections) or 1 input signal switched in 12 different directions.

I use them to alter my clipping circuit 12 times

A little washer on the input make the difference between the number of turns.

ah but i need 6 input signals switched in 4 diff directions (total of 24 connections)

Corbs, Surplus Sales of Nebraska has one at $25 US (ouch!).

But, are you sure you need all those contacts? Depending what you are doing, it might be possible to leave components connected but not going anywhere, in some positions. (for example, if you are switching transistors, only switch the B and Cs).
Or (admittedly a kludge) have a number of slide switches in parallel and after mounting them, glue a bar across connecting the sliders so you switch 2 (or even 3 or 4, dependign what you can get) at once.

thats what i was afraid of. this is what i'm doing btw:

Well I can't quite make out the image, but if you are trying to select between 4 pairs of pots, you can surely have one pin of correcpondign pots in common wired permanently.
So that reduces it a bit.. are the pots grounded at one end?

have you clicked on it? sorry if it isn't clear.

it's to allow you to select a control on an effect (via a rotary or whatever) and switch between a pot and a lfo'ing resistor
