Who makes a killer (small) A/B loop switch?

I need a small A/B loop switch for my board. One for the very beginning where I can choose two completely independant paths and return for a consistent out to an EQ and modulator. I'm not looking for a "blender". A lot of guys have pretty cool boards on this site so I'm open to who makes 'em the best.

Thanks.
 
So just to be sure we understand, you want two effects loops and a footswitch to toggle between them? This would mean an input jack, two sends, two returns, and an output; easy to do, but hard to fit in a small box. For "best quality" I would look at Lehle, but again their six-jack units are not small. For a custom job in as small a box as possible, I'd suggest Max at [sfx]; it won't be cheap and it may take a little time.
 
I have a bunch of those, and similar, that I made when I was starting to use complicated switch routing to initiate combinations of on-state pedals.. I am redoing it all into a smaller formfactor.. If I have any that are specifically what you need that havent been gutted, I'll let you know (if you are interested in amateur stuff.. I certainly wouldnt want much for anything.. They arent noisy etc)
 
It's not super small, but I have a Boss LS-2. I bought it just to do A/B with volume for each, but since then I've found a dozen other uses for it. Right now I use it to mix a dry signal in with my effects chain (A+B mix), so my low end doesn't get buried
