What devices are you going to control? At the same time or separately? (Like you are going to map the delay feedback and reverb time to the same sweep…)
Is MIDI an option?
If both devices are looking for the same value (say 25K) then an A/B would definitely work. Depending on the devices the splitter could work great or not at all. Some just plug the pedal
in like a pot (so you’d be opening the circuit to the other device) and others kind of “read” the value, turn that into digital info and process it that way. So a Y splitter might be great or they might crosstalk or not work at all.
the Boss EV-30 has dual outputs which will work. And of course Mission has the Expressionator which is the Lexus/Cadillac (maybe Bentley) version that will
do any expression you’d ever want or need.

My first thought is using MIDI. Also, Mission made a pedal (I use one) that has a wah-type toe switch. Control one device, and when you want to switch over, click the switch. I think it is called the SP-2.
Thru Tone makes an expensive exp pedal called the EXP-ULT built into an Ernie Ball pedal, which uses their 'kick switch' to switch between devices, too (look at the bottom of that web page).

You could always sub in the same value pot for dual wiper lugs to isolate them on an existing Expression Pedal

My H9 and my MOOG, the EXP pedal works on them individually. Although it might be cool to control them at the same time for my general purposes it would be one or the other.
I have found a lot of pedals out there that control multiple. I love the Reflex Universal Expression from Source Audio. I am looking for the cheapest and easiest way out.

The Mission Engineering Expressionator is what you are looking for.
