Hi guys, first post on here.
I'm wondering if anyone can help, as my title suggests - I'm not over familiar with loop switching. As easy as my problem sounds, I can't seem to work it out.
On my pedal board rig, I am wanting to be able to switch on my boost pedal and a reverb to make my solo sound fuller at the same time. I would like to still be able to use these effects independently and on top of other effects. I.e not in a separate loop. I have an aby pedal, and have been looking to get the boss LS 2, but not sure if they would solve my problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
Rob.

I was hoping for something more compact, as these are the only 2 I need to come on together. Do you know of anything more simplistic / smaller?

just aim for the boost first, a split second of no verb won't be noticeable to anyone other than yourself.
I therefore favour the idea of just hitting both whenever you need to, and not worrying if it takes another half a beat for the reverb to start.
Something like a ChaseBliss-type switch layout (i.e. a switch in each of the front-most corners) but obviously with 2 identical bypass circuits inside.
Agreed. The four-button doodad you suggest would almost certainly need to be custom built (I don't think anyone makes one), and it seems like a complicated and costly solution (even more so if the pedals aren't adjacent in the signal chain) to something I'd struggle to call a problem to begin with.
Of course, a dedicated programmable loop switcher would be capable of considerably more than that one job, so might actually be worth the outlay for some players.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
That's exactly what I was going to suggest.
If you have a specific requirement, it might be worth contacting Bright Onion or Wee Lush. They both do small, simple and cheap loopers and can be customised to meet your exact requirements.
