I'm running two amps with an ABY box. Both amps are on all the time to get that blend and wide sound. For my crunch/lead tone I have a tube screamer running into a Fender and use the dirty channel on a Jubilee. The problem is I like to run both amps clean (slight gain) now and then and then switch to the TS and Dirt channel for heavier tones. This means I have to do the pedal dance and get both the TS and channel switcher on. Is there a pedal out there that will let me have both an effects pedal and a channel changing footswitch connected together so I only need to hit one pedal to get both on?

You could easily do this using a Voodoo Lab GCX and Ground Control Pro, and there are a number of other options available to you from different manufacturers. All depends on your budget...

A GCX and GCP would be great for this, however those do run up a bit in cost, so it depends on your budget. You could also use a Commander and Pedal Switcher, which is like a smaller version of the GCX/GCP combo. They allow 10 presets to be made with the Switcher's loops. So if I understand your setup correctly, it would be:

Guitar->ABY->Switcher(With TS, and amp channel switchers in separate loops)->Fender
->Jubilee

So then you'd just program one preset with the TS on, and both channels on the amp to dirty, and another preset with TS off, and both amps switched to clean. This would use 3 loops on the pedal switcher.

I think this could also be done with the Controller and control switcher, but same principle.
Hopefully that makes sense, and I didn't confuse myself :)
