Default 3 guitars - 1 tuner???

I play in a band where I switch between three different guitars during the night.

They are:
Burner MMJ 6-string Acoustic into a LR Baggs Para DI
Taylor 655CE 12-string Acoustic into a Taylor Breakout Box
Epiphone Casino Electric into a small mic'd amp.

My desire is to find a way to run all three guitars into one tuner on a pedal board - and most likely need to control where the signal to the tuner is coming form.

One issue I have to address is the fact that I'm also using a Boss A/B box on my Burner guitar so that I can mute the guitar when not playing it as it has no on-board controls.

So - anybody got an idea for me on how I can accomplish this.

What do I need to purchase?

I did find a Morley A/B/C box - that might work for what I need - just looking for your ideas too.

Thanks

You can only play one at a time, so why not just use your tuner as your connection point to your system and plug each guitar into it as needed to tune/play? It literally would take about 15 seconds to make the switch / connection, which you should have between songs, and another 15 - 20 seconds to quick-check the tuning. Just my thoughts on the subject.

Now, unless I don't really get your question, I'm not sure if what you are asking about can be done without spending a bit of $, and at that point why would you want to spend a bunch of $ on the simple act of tuning a guitar in between songs during a set when there are ways to do it that would not cost you a cent?
