Most accessible is via TY. I enquired this before. Probably $100-ish.
OR:
this1smyne had a sweet PASSIVE dual true bypass loop for quite cheap. No LEDs so it's passive.

If you want LEDs means you need to dedicate power for it. I find that beyond my needs, but this1smyne quote is not bad.

It does.
Dual Truebypass box applications would be:
2 loops in bypass (bypass both pedals/chains) so it goes through everything
Activate either loop
Activate both loops at the same time
EG:
Guitar - TU2 - Loop A (SD1) - Loop B (Rat) - DMM - Amp
Bypass would be:
Guitar - TU2 - DMM - Amp
Activate any loop would be:
Guitar - TU2 - Loop A (SD1) - DMM - Amp
Guitar - TU2 - Loop B (Rat) - DMM- Amp
Or activate both to get:
Guitar - TU2 - Loop A (SD1) - Loop B (Rat) - DMM - Amp
Isn't that what you want?
Maybe you're confused by the term. This can be used as an A/B and A+B in one box. It's not just to isolate your buffered pedals. It can function as an effects loop on it's own. And in this case, 2 independent ones.

But this is a standard 2 loop switcher, each footswitch toggling a single loop. To turn on A+B you would have to hit both, or one, depending on what you currently have on.
I think what you want is 1 footswitch to toggle between A and B, and 1 footswitch to turn on both A+B. This Loopmaster model does it, with an additional master bypass (which is quite necessary IMO) http://www.loop-master.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=90
Don't let the name "Clean/Dirty Effects Switcher" confuse you, it will do exactly what you need for A/B and A+B

Yeah, but the switching is a lot more complex internally. Normal loopers are super simple. I would go for the local options since you mentioned you got some quotes, but just double check with them that it does exactly what you want. Very easy to get mixed up with the terminology for all these switches.

Err you have to click on the 'scroller' to open up options for the dual loop.
You need to stomp twice but the pedal is pretty small and these sorta thing I assume is for live purposes right? Likely you're wearing shoes and it'll be pretty easy to stomp both together.
I'm just giving options mate.. I was looking for one before and found the loop master pricey as well. No longer need it because I run in stereo not mono now. Also I believe it's part and parcel of being a guitarist to manipulate your effects to suit the music. Sometimes I turn off 3 pedals and turn on 2 pedals to get to the chorus but it can be done.
