Looking to build bypass looper (not necessarily TB)

I am curious about using the standard 3pdt switch to wire a bypass switch that would allow me to toggle my delays and reverbs in and out of my chain.

JSYK I have a buffered input on my guitar signal.
But What if I took a secondary wire from the tip return Jack and wired it to the same post that goes to the next channel (OR the hot signal running to the ouput Jack)

Wouldn't it simply kill the input to the delay and allow the trailed signal to mix in until it fades away?

In theory it sounds good, but could potentially run into some interesting problems. Do you have a drawing so it's a bit more clear? You could always breadboard it with a couple wires and give it a shot.

Unfortunately I don't have a drawing on my phone (I'm using the app)
But I was just thinking about the beavis audio  diagram and adding a single wire from the tip of the return Jack to the tip of the output Jack.

Here's the link to the diagram I am starting with. The the standard true bypass looper with LED indicator.

I figured I could would also place a switch inBetween the two tips that would break the connection, turning trails on and off
