Best ABY for acoustic guitar?

We have an acoustic guitar on wireless and one hard wired for live events. We are currently running two tuner pedals to two DI boxes.

I want to use an ABY switcher for these to only have one DI box and one Tuner pedal. I am a huge fan of Radial, but they don't have what I want... Their ABY is for one guitar to two amps...

Can you guys suggest a sonically transparent switcher?

Thanks!!

I am guessing you are using a piezo pickup?

To get the most transparency/truestbalance you'll need a 10 meg ohm input impedance, which is probably non exsistent.

I have used a Boss LS-2 for many years - IMHO it dosn't degrade the tone, but some people don't like the sound of buffers.

Have you considered the Lehle stuff? - transformer based and programmable -
how bout this one: Lehle 3at1 SGoS

One of the guitars is a Piezo... the other is an LR Baggs Active M1. The Lehle is a smidge out of my price range, and it also appears to be significant overkill. Upon looking harder on the Radial site, their BigShot i/o is exactly what I was looking for. I love Radial gear, and I hope it works as well as I'm expecting. Thanks for your help!!
