Your problem will be resolved with the purchase of a boss ls-2 but that won't help your bad grammar. Excuse the ass in me. Carry on...

This is a very "duh" answer but maybe worth mentioning.

Try positioning the pedals right next to each other. Then perhaps you could stomp on both switches at once? I've used this technique before, seems to work out well.

Another thing I do often is this: Of the two pedals, whichever is less noticeable I will switch on on the 4 and then the second pedal I will switch on on the 1. That assumes you're in 4/4. Basically just turning on the less obvious pedal one beat before.

Then the third option, a bypass looper. Takes up more space and cash then the above two methods but is the easiest to work with.

This. Or turn on the more obvious pedal on the beat and the less obvious one one beat after.

A Boss LS-2 is a great pedal but may be overkill for what you ask. I personally use something called a Loooper on my guitar board (www.loooper.com) that I bought back in 2005 or 2006, but http://loop-master.com/ and http://www.this1smyne.com/product_list/custom/looper/ will all do pretty much the same thing. All have great build quality.

Then again, an LS-2 has so many good options on it that you may want to buy one as it really does a lot of cool things and is a swiss army knife of sorts for changing which pedals are in your signal and which are not.
