Question for you guys:

I am lazy. i hate having to go in behind my amp heads, find the speaker cable, unplug it, and then go to amp head #2, find the speaker out jack, and then mash around back there blindly trying to plug the cable in.

i want to make some kind of patch bay.  The left side will have 3 inputs, which are the speaker outputs from my amps.  the left side will have 3 outputs which will go to 3 different speaker cabs.

I would then want to have two rotary switches - one to select which input is active and a second that will select which cabinet is active.

(yes, i know all about running tube amps with no load and the dangers it poses. i only run one amp at a time and won't be switching anything while any single amp is on.)

ok. so the question is... most of these amps are 100watt, though i rarely ever run them past 2 or 3 (thank you, two notes captor!)... what kind of rotary switch should i use that can take that kind of signal?  am i good with the typical alpha-style 4PDT rotary switches that we use with pedals or will i need something beefier?
