Hi

let's say I have 2 pedalboards with different setups/FXs, and I want to use either one or the other but not both ,will it be ok if I connect a DPDT instead of the 25k-B pot like this (sorry for the bad drawing!)

Yes that would work, but you could do it a little simpler by building a passive loop box with 2 loops and one switch that selects either or.

thanks mates,

I've already etched the pcb, and the idea of the 2 pedalboards come to my mind just after, so it's now another option for this little thing!
