i'm thinking to use 2 different distortion with 2 different amp at the same time, does it work by using boss line selector?
 
You need an A/B/Y switch.

A for channel 1
B for channel 2
Y for simultaneous channels

As for the boss LS-2, I think its possible.

You need to turn the knob to A+B mix then use the
Send A -> Dist 1 -> Amp 1
Send B -> Dist 2 -> Amp 2

Don't return the signal to the LS-1

by using the A/B/Y switch i can play with both pedals at the same time without ruin or mixing the original sound my pedals? am i right?

any suggestion brand that i can buy and where i can get it

thanks

If by "ruin" the original sound, I don't exactly understand you.
A distortion will always make your original clean signal distorted.

But, you can send the original signal to either A or B or both.

With 1 distortion each at A and B.

No particular brand, you can DIY if you want. But if you want something cheap, probably head down to TYMC, they used to stock some ABY switches there.
 
when in the y mode, you single geetar signal is split into 2.

this split signal path, one will go to distortion A--->Amp A while the other will go to distortion B--->Amp B

the signal doesnt mixed.

But what you will be hearing, is the combination of distortion A--->Amp A and distortion B--->Amp B

in short, signal path, dont mix. Sound heard will be mixed. Cos you are hearing sound from both projecting amp, via this split, parallel path.
