First things first, there's a good chance the meter will have no impact on sonics. Measure it's resistance before going to the trouble of adding a switch. It might be only a few ohms. If it turns out that's not the case, there's no reason to switch it out of circuit when it's not needed. Just leave it in series with the cathode and add a switch in parallel to bypass it to ground. Nothing more is needed.

  For that you'll need a two pole, three position rotary ("L - Off - R"). Contacts should be non-shorting, make-before-break.
