I have been playing through a Champion 600RI and just bought a Vox ac4tv combo. Do they make a foot switch that will allow me to switch between the 2 amps?

A simple A/B switch will do what you want. You can get one from GC for around $40, and you can find them on e-bay.

You'd be wise to consider the Radial Tonebone Big Shot A/B/Y pedal. This unit adds a switchable ground lift and isolation transformer to prevent electrical shock when using two different amps that may not be identically polarized. About $75 on Ebay.

If yoiu are pretty handy with a soldering iron you can save some money by building your own. Here is a link to a very well know boutique effects pedal maker who was kind enough to provide the world with an A/B swithc diagram. I built two of these and I'm very happy with them. I use one to switch between my effects pedals and a tuner and the other between amps. For the enclosure I used a normal aluminum electrical box from home depot instead of the hammond enclosure, which was alot less expensive.
Good luck..
