guitar w/ 2 outputs +amp channel switching - what do i need?

So I have a somewhat unique setup that I'm going for. Hopefully one of you geniuses can help me out.

Guitar = Taylor T5 w/ acoustic output and a humbucker on a separate output
Amp = your standard 2 channel tube amp, clean and crunch

Here's the 3 main sounds I'm after:
1) Acoustic -> PA - main acoustic sound
2) Acoustic -> PA + Humbucker -> Amp clean - main clean sound
3) Humbucker -> Amp crunch channel - main crunch sound

Ideally I would like to have 1 switch for each of these sounds. So #1 would be just the acoustic pickup to PA only (humbucker off), #2 would be acoustic and humbucker with the amp set to clean channel, #3 would be humbucker and crunch channel (acoustic off).

Any suggestions? Right now I don't use any effects but would like a system that would allow me too add that in the future.

Thanks!
Anthony

Working under the premise that you intend to use a GCX and GCPro, this is relatively simple. Just make the following connections:

Taylor Acoustic Out -> Loop 1 In; Loop 1 Send to PA
Taylor Magnetic Out -> Loop 2 In; Loop 2 Send to Amp Input
Loop 3 Send -> Amplifier foot switch jack.

You will need to configure Loop 3 so your Clean channel is active when the loop is off and the Crunch channel is active when the loop is On; after that, all you'll need to do is program the following three scenarios on the GCPro.

When you activate Loop 1, Loops 2 and 3 should be off.

When you activate Loop 2, Loop 1 should be on and Loop 3 should be off.

When you activate Loop 3, Loop 1 should be off and Loop 2 should be on.

Hope this helps...
