Amps directly into wall w/Hubbell on off switch?

The local electrical supply house has heavy duty ivory Hubbell 15 amp switches , so I am wiring dedicated bx outlets, one for the amps, one for the digital front end, each outlet wired to a Hubbell on off switch. The switches and outlets will be in separate metal outlet boxes with metal ivory wall plates. Any thoughts on this set up? I assume with the system switched off, I would be protected from lightning (unless the stike jumps the gap).
Thanks,
Mario
