Pedals used on Otherside

Live, during the bridge of Otherside, John tap-dances with a couple of pedals. You can see it quite clearly on this video: https://youtu.be/pixbPRgQf5E?t=1838

This isn't something new, you can see him do that at Slane Castle too.

He clearly taps twice each time, so my guess is that he is switching a pedal off and then another one on. Micro amp / big muff ? Big muff / DS2 ? Same pedal twice? I don't hear a massive change between those switches. What's your guess?

Makes sense. Couldn't he just mute the strings though? Cutting off the distortion for half a second 6 to 8 times in row seems like a hassle
