Switching 2 effects

I'm thinking about making some sort of true bypass strip. Let's say I have 2 3pdt's controlling 2 true bypass loops. Now I want to add a third switch to activate both loops at the same time. Think about having an overdrive and a distortion, and wanting to be able to switch them individually, or both effects on/off together. Is this possible, and how do I wire this?
Any ideas? Thanks  :)

It can be done with relays or any other type of electronic switching. With 3pdt's it could be done, but I don't think it would be very practical. You can wire each pedal in their own loop and then both loops inside another loop, but the down side is that you have to turn on each loop (first and second switch) before you can activate both with the other loop (third switch). With relays or any other type of electronic switching you don't have to do this.

Good luck,
