it wouldn't be too hard to have a pedalboard with a multicore coming out the back. this way, each pedal could come up on the patchbay, and you wouldn't be ruling out a lot of really cool stompboxes.

i have a broken DOD overdrive pedal--the side is cracked, the "low bat" light is always on, and it will destroy anything you put through it. i've found the best use for it to be in rock tunes, when the bass is getting lost. you mult the dry bass, distort it, then bring it under just a hair in the mix, and -bingo- there's the bassitar. this will also work sending the bass to the input of a nice tube mic pre. not as "total destruction" as my DOD thing.
