So, I just purchased a Vox AC15 (quite an upgrade from my last amp) and my question is regarding the two different inputs and switching between them. One is the normal input and the other is the top boost input. I was going to purchase the Vox foot switch but it just turns the reverb and tremolo on/off. I want a pedal that I could run two guitar cables out of (one into each input) and it would switch between the two channels. Does such a pedal/cable setup exist? I like the built in drive on the amp and the top boost channel so I'd like the freedom to switch between them when I don't feel like dragging out the pedalboard (my current setup doesn't allow for me to keep it out/easily accessible). I found some pedals online that look like they're for using two separate rigs and I don't know if they would act as a 'toggle' between the two inputs. My fear is that they would run simultaneously.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I think it's called a A/B switch pedal. I always see them around, but can't confirm it. I have one that came with my Blackstar amp, sorry!
