such thing as quadruple pole double throw switch?

[Dirk Funk]

I pulled a switch out of a guitar effect pedal from the 60's that has
this lay out.

A to B is a circut and C to D is a circut, when you throw the switch
the circuts are 1 to 2 and 3 to 4. What kind of switch would this be
called?

If there are no other pins on the switch, it is an odd one. However,
you can take an ordinary 4P2T switch (yes they do exist ;-) and connect
the commons as two sets of two. IOW, connect common-1 with common-2 and
connect common-3 with common-4. You can then connect your wires to the
outside terminals just like the original switch. Hope this helps.
