question on looping....

A little while back, I decided I would get a loooper pedal to be able to switch between fretted and fretless. I ended up not getting the pedal becuase I never seem to play fretted anymore. However, I've run into something I would like to do. Problem is, I'm not sure if I understand it to be done in the way I would like.

Here's what I want to be able to do:

have one clean channel, and one effects channel. Instead of having to hit my chorus pedal, EQ pedal, etc.. when I need those effects, I would like to be able to switch between 2 channels (a/b, like the looper). Just make it simpler you know? A channel for clean, B channel for effects.

Can this be done with a looper, or am I thinking of something else?
 
Take a Boss LS-2, you'll have a looper, plus volume control, boost, active blend, A/B/C box, mute, tuner mute, and so one in one single pedal, not even expensive (about 60$ if I'm not mistaken)!!
