There are several devices which would do this.  The Rockman Octapus is a 
half-rack unit which will control up to 8 switching functions (channels, 
reverb, effects loop, whatever).  They've been discontinued, but often 
show up on Harmony Central and the like for between $75 and $100.  I 
believe Rocktron and Peavey made similiar units.
