In that past I've just "hand stomped" as it were,...but I'm seriously considering in the future,....reserving my floor board for my main toanz and fuzz pedlulz and a TBP loop or some other footswitch jank to trigger pedals in the keyboard stand pedal chain. I think setup and tear down would be a bitch with a TBP loop though and I could see fucking up the switching order,...there has got to be a better way,...and I was checking out the Pedal Switchers and Commander from Voodoo Lab,...but fuck,....$400 bucks for a minimal setup (1 Pedal Switcher and 1 Commander) is steep (and realistically I would need at least two Pedal Switchers + the Commander in order to control all of my setup,...so more like $600) although a lot cheaper then the Ground Control and the GCX from Voodoo Lab. I'm waffling on the idea,...convenience good,...price,...not so much.
I could also see myself forgetting which switches controlled which patches or which pedals are in which loop,...I could certainly color code things with gaffer or electrical tape and make life easier,...but what are the chances that I'm not going to be able to make out those colors on a dark stage?
I'm also unsure how to use delay with TBP loops,...from what I can gather,..the tempo and delays are chugging along even though the pedal is essentially recieving no signal and as result,...one would have to be real careful when the plop on the delay; so that it's going to grab your signal and keep the repeats in tempo and at the right timing with the groove. It would be somewhat of a leap of faith having a delay in a TBP loop and that is really the main pedal I want access to on a table top type setup. I could circumvent those issues by just not having the delay in a loop but then I loose the foot stomp ability.
There would be other benefits to the Pedal Switcher/Commander setup such as being able to setup presets of multiple loops for one stomp turning on 3 pedals type shit,...so I may just bite the bullet and drop the coin on it and if it doesn't work out,...just re-sell the stuff.
Pedal Switcher and Commander vids from Voodoo Labs for those that are interested. Both these units are about $200 a pop.
