pedal switching system

I put the same post elsewhere because I'm hoping more people will see it but I have 10 pedals that I'm running with my current setup:

Planet Waves Tuner
Rocktron Volume Pedal (soon to upgrade to an Ernie ball volume)
Dunlop Wah with True Bypass
Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde Distortion
Boss EQ
MXR Phase 90
Rocktron Deep Blue Chorus
EH Holy Stain
Line 6 FM4
Cheap Chinese Analog Delay

I'm looking for a good pedal switching system and I know that there will be cost involved but I'm wondering if anyone has attempted a DIY effect loop switching system. I have a MIDI foot controller that could be used as the control surface. I'd like to get something like the VooDoo Labs pedal switcher but with more inputs.

any suggestions?

You can probably build one useing a bunch of 3PDT Switches and Input jacks ,This switches used as True Bypass switches and can also accomidate and On/Off Led indicator....

sort of like this:

There is at least one DIY one @ Geofex.com. Not sure if it has midi control though. FWIW, Most people loop groups of pedals, not stick each and every one on it's own loop.

I don't NEED midi control and for the amount of complication it would add to the wiring it really wouldn't be worth it.

The problem with grouping loops of pedals I'm stuck with specific arrangements and i don't always use my phase and overdrive at the same time.
