2 effects loops + amp channel switch with one pedal?

Question

I’m looking to get the 5150 Iconic 80w amp head and use a pedal to swap between 2 separate effects loops and the amp’s red/green channel simultaneously.

i’ve got a pedal in mind that’s a single button “A/B Looper + Amp Switch” .

I want to use the amp switch aspect of the pedal to swap between the green channel (for cleans) and red channel (for metal/distorted tones) and to use the A/B looper aspect of the pedal to run the signal through two separate effects loops, 1 clean (delay, reverb, whatever), 1 distorted (overdrive, eq, noise gate).

And the footswitch that seems to be the one that comes with the 5150 is a two button “Channel/Boost” footswitch.

My question is, would this pedal be compatible with the amp, and would it achieve what i’m setting out to?
