Two FX Toggle Flex relay switching

A switching logic for two effects in one enclosure that offers two modes for the footswitches.
A) Each FX has its own bypass switch
B) One switch is master bypass, the other toggles between both effects.

It uses simple spst momentary switches with soft touch instead of expensive and unreliable 3pdt switches.
Off course, it would be easier to use a microcontroller, but this circuit can be built with easily available parts.
I made a veroboard layout, but a smaller pcb would be helpful.

The schematic doesn't include LED's for the footswitches, but the veroboard does.
The mode switch could be replaced with a 3pdt latching switch, if a status LED fot the mode is needed.

An example, two overdrives in on box. In mode A, you can cascade them. In mode B, you can toggle between any of them (and clean bypass) with just one click.

Coincidentally I started working on the flex relay bypass again last night.

I have a prototype schematic and layout drawn up. I want to compare it against a pedal I'm receiving today, then it'll be time to get some ordered.

Once the basic functionality is confirmed we can work on adapting it to larger utilities like this.
 
Hello....I have two sun powered clusters (each 1680 Watt), each taking care of their own flexmax80. Since they are far away from the house, I need to save money on link. The two clusters are in the equivalent combiner box and I am thinking about whether 2 flexmax80 can have a similar nonpartisan wire? Which means, would i be able to associate the impartial of the two exhibits? Or then again do both require their own impartial?
