Ground Bus in a TB looper - good or bad?

[ACS]

Hi all

Building up a 5 loop bypass box at the moment - just a quick question on wiring this guy though... 

Simplicity says that a ground bus or 'daisy chain' type ground arrangement for the 1/4" sockets, another for the 3PDT's and a third one for the LED's is going to be a lot simpler than star grounding every ground connection back to a common point.  Any pitfalls of this approach?  Anyone tried it and recommend for/against it?!

For clarity, I would run each of these three buses back to a common point, with the far end 'floating', ie.

Those ground bus lines could pick up noise. which would only be a problem if you create a ground loop.

Just triple check you only have one grounding point and you should be okay.

My first project was a 5ch TB looper. Looking back I went way overboard on running the ground connections, daisy chaining all the jacks together and also chaining switches for the leds. I think I joined the chains together at the input jack and connected it to the power supply jack from there. Every ground wire between the jacks is a potential loop, but I don't seem to have any issues with noise due to it, maybe I got lucky? But if I were to do it again I would let the sleeves for the 1/4" jacks contact the enclosure and just connect the ground to one jack. The switches would still need to be chained together of course.
