Hi guys! So, i have a moog phatty and a nord electro 5 and 2 strymon pedals (timeline, blue sky). I was wondering if there is way to have a footswitch that will determine which synth goes through the effects (or both at the same time). it's meant for live use! I thought about a mixer with send/return setup but then i need to adjust always the level of the effect per track (so, per synth). Is there any other way maybe? Thanks for your help!

Not sure how it would work in terms of impedance, but if you use two A/B boxes, one per kbd, and then merge their outputs (A+A, B+B) with two sum boxes or a little mixer and send the summed A to one effect, and the summed B to the other, you could then select to which effect each kbd goes.
There are some other ABY boxes which also output A, B and both, so two of those and two sum boxes would let you (in theory) send each kbd to one, the other or both effects.
If you succeed, let us know.

I think you want one of these: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ABYMix

I was thinking to do that a while ago and you need a mono or stereo A/B box switcher ..My idea was to have either the NL2X or the D50 (Because they are on top of each other...) to go through the 4 pedals that are on the NL2X (All TC Electronic and the following order: Helix Phaser+Dreamscape Chorus/Vibrato/Flanger+Alter Ego Delay+Hall of Fame Reverb) or to have the P08 and the P12 going to the Eventide H9 for the same reason (P08 on top of the P12...But finally, I realized that when playing live, I was not using the changes that much, then I gave up, but "Loop Master" was able to do anything I wanted:
I have already asked this guy to make some stuff for me (Patchbay for my Guitar pedalboard) and it works perfectly...

Or this one, 4 mono or two stereo switcher, could even work with a remote:

Or if you run your Electro and Moog in Mono, this one:

Even if the example are for Guitars, the Radial stuff are so good that they could be used with line signal as well, they are True Dry Through bypass/switcher, so, what goes in will go out, no degradation of the signal...

Same thing as a Send/return from a mixer, you will have to dial in or adjust the level of each signal, so, not that fast than just a switch A/B:

Those guys are awesome but I don't think you need them, your stuff is simple:

That's all I'm aware of.
