Hi ya'll

Im looking to undergo a little project and I need help. I have someone designing a metal frame to house a 2x12 speaker cab and my Fender Twin head (its a Twin in a Dual Showman cab)
Anyways, I am looking for a way to control my stompboxes without having them on the floor. I want to house them in a rack behind the amp or cab and have a simple switching board that controls them. I want them true bypass as well.
Also, Ive heard of the Unity Gain Buffer Pre-amp that Jerry Garcia had in his guitar that let his signal be strong at all volumes while going through effects, he controlled overall volume with his guitar but the effects were unaltered and true bypass. Any ideas on how I would get this job done? The only pedal I would have on the ground is maybe a wah or perhaps volume but Id like to control that with my guitar ala Jerry. I may even just use an auto wah. Thanks
