A/B pedals - Looper?

[Tee]

I hope you can understand what i'm on about here.

Is the best way to split effects pedals, with an A/B pedal?

Here's the deal. I have my compressor and overdrive on all the time in a live situation, but i think i'd like to occasionally bring in a pedal/ or effects which, when non-active in my signal path, will suck my tone.

What would be a good set-up to insert these other pedals, when called for and remove them from my signal path, when not needed? Using an A/B pedal? Would i be able to leave the 'other' effects on permanently and activate them into my signal path via an A/B. I've never really tried anything this complicated, as i'm not normally an fx user, but some songs are calling for them.

Any pedal recommendations too?

Thanks in advance.

You want a true bypass loop.

Thanks. That little Lehle looks good. I also like the Keeley, as it's real small.
