the ultimate solution would be a mixer with enough outputs to cover
your requirements (FX sends or Group Outs)
Otherwise you could run a number of FX from each Aux out of your mixer,
which would be much better than a passive split before the mixer.
how about putting 6 pots (100K log?) in a box so you could
control i/p to each FX separately. Because you'd be 
using the mixer out you wouldn't need any active electronics
to get a high quality result.
