Stompenberg FX: Testing guitar effects pedal remotely

Love the idea. Despite owning a digital amp with all effects I could ever want built-in, it would still be tremendous fun to just try out and experiment with pedals. Could even convince me to buy some.

This looks like it would preclude the use of FX boxes where wiring would best not be extended (especially using ribbon format) without liberal use of ferritic beads and other stabilizing measures.
