Default Amplifier I/O help?

I need to figure out how to turn off an amp I'm making without discharging the caps and not letting the circuit strain for energy.

Let me explain:


Switch
|
Pin 1
Pin 2
Pin 3
(imagine a rocker switch and these are in a logical order)

If Pin 3 is - 24 volts, and Pin 1 is + 24 volts, and pin two is input to the amp; the amp has a bunch of capacitors that should discharge; what do i need to do? I know a resistor for a slower discharge is a bad idea cos when the switch is on, it would make the resistor really hot!

If anyone has ANY ideas, please tell me!

My immediate idea is "why do you want to do this?".
