Buffered A/B box with volume control

I'm thinking of getting an A/B box for switching between my electric bass and EUB. I wish it had an internal buffer (most of my pedals are true-bypass) and a separate volume control for each input. Are there any on the market? I made a search and found only 2-channel preamps (such as Bassbone and Microbass 2) with built-in EQ, DI and some other features that I don't really need.
 
Passive A/B boxes are prone to tone-suck and feedback; a buffer is a better solution. Look at the product line from Lehle, such as the "3@1", for good examples of buffered A/B with level control but no extraneous features. Even so, certainly it wouldn't be hard to DIY a buffered A/B.
