looper/router box for effect pedals.
You can have either 2 loops with a master bypass switch+loop selector switch or single loop with the master bypass switch.
a/b box is similar concept to a looper/router box but minus the loops
a/b box is such that guitar signal go into it and allow users to select either output path A or output path B
Looper/router box, instead of single direction path, you have a loop, whereby users can put in any effect pedal in this loop. When in bypass mode, geetar singal will goes from input to output directly. When looper/router box is activated, geetar signal will go into the loop, process by the effect pedal in the loop and output towards the next connnecting pedal/amp etc.
Thus for your need, you can have 2 pedals in a single looper/router box, both pedal will be "on" all the time in the loop. When you need to on/off both pedal at same time, you wont have to physically step on the 2 effect pedals switches. Instead you just need to activate one stomp switch for the looper/router pedal, aka the master bypass/loop enable switch, inorder to achieve what you want.

It's not an A/B switch that you want. You need a "true-bypass looper" pedal, not to be confused with those digital looper pedals that record and play back your sound.
A true-bypass looper has 4 plugs, input, send, receive, and output.
1) You connect your guitar (or other pedals) to the input;
2) Connect send to the input of the first pedal in the group that you want to turn on/off together, lets say overdrive and delay;
3) Return from the output of the last pedal in that group;
4) Output to your amp (or other pedals before your amp).
Then you turn on that group of pedals inside the loop. By hitting the switch on the looper, you can take the whole group of pedals in or out of your signal chain without touching the individual pedals.

hehe, its all good when we can help one another to gain more info!
That aside, been a while since we have a true bypass looper/effect looper thread round here. As with many gadgets for geetar, lotsa fellas used to have one on their board couple of years back, till the next wave of new gadget came by and looper get pushed to the back.

This cracked me up haha !
Anyway guys thanks for the informative responses. Guess I'll get the true-bypass-looper as suggest by carboxymoron. Heh.

You could place them near each other and hit both switches with a well-angled stomp.
place both horizontal and with the switch aligned so that with one stomp of my foot, both pedals are switched on.
At least thats what i did and it worked =)
EDIT: i did a D.I.Y pic using _ and | but it doesn't show nicely somehow.....
hope you guys get what i mean? basically turn both pedals 90degrees to either left or right. them step both at once.

put the two pedals such that their pushbuttons are facing each other, and stomp both at the same time with one foot.
