Create a pedal that allows me to switch between two pedals

Hi everone,
I'm trying to build a pedal that will let me switch in between two pedals, so when I hit the switch it will change.
I think I can get it done with six jacks and a 3pdt switch, but I'm not sure how to wire it up.
Can anyone give me a wiring diagram for it?
Thanks in advance!  :-[ :-[ :-[

Welcome. Its called an A/B looper

shows the usual.
Without an LED you only need a DPDT.
That thread was for the usual issue: switching between two sets of effects (distortion and echo vs something else.) A lot of people want totally different clean and dirty chains.
If you use n.c. switching jacks for the sends, you can also use it to just switch between a chain of effects and bypass. You could also do this by sticking a patch cable in the unused send/return...

Think of it like this: normally a stompswitch is wired up to select between the in and out of a circuit board ORa direct wire feed from the input to output jack.  A switch "between" simply replaces the straight-wire feed through with a second in and out of a circuit.
