You can solve the aidio routing problem by using a mixer with 2 fx loops.
Put a EDP on each fx loop and then EDP output back into mixer input
channels.  This way you can send one EDP signal to the other via the fx
sends.

Re: your footswitch problem:  of course, you need to be able to send the
footswitch commands SEPARATELY to each EDP, which it sounds like you can't
do.  I use one EDP foot controller to control two EDP's by using an A/B box
(with grounds lifted).  I'm not sure how you'd do this with a MIDI
footswitch....perhaps you have the EDP's receive on separate MIDI channels,
and switch between them with you MIDI unit...?...?

good luck,
