How do you install Battery Kill Switch in Wah?

I am trying to figure out how to install a simple battery on/off switch into my wah pedal and have had no luck finding anything on what I would assume is a simple mod. Can anyone help?

Not sure, but Dan aka this1smyne is installing a mini-toggle on my boost pedal to kill the input signal (and thus preserve battery life).

I added a 9V adapter jack and wired it the normal way. If you run on battery and push a 2.1mm plug it kills the battery feed. Alternately, there's a lot of room under the treadle. You could get a mini SPDT with a short bat handle and put it somewhere accessible.
