OT: Self-varying FX Chain? (sidechain,gate,split..)

["Buzap Buzap" <buzap@gmx.net>]

Hi folks

as an alternative to switching FX patches while looping, I was thinking 
about using one "self-varying" FX chain:
- Vocal Chain:
   - "Normal Vocals" (eq/compr/reverb)
   - High Pitch: add more reverb
   - Lo Pitch: add octaver
- Guitar Chain:
   - Quiet to Normal Volume: RhythmGuitarFX
   - Loud Volume: LeadGuitarFX

First of all: Any experience with this? How is this called at all?

Next I was thinking of realizing this in Mainstage like this:

VOCALS
======
MICIN > VOX1 / VOXLO / VOXHI (split)
VOX1 > EQ/PASS > COMPR > REVERB > VOXMIX 
VOXHI > HI-PASS/EQ > MOREREVERB > VOXMIX
VOXLO > LO-PASS/EQ > OCTAVER > COMPR > VOXMIX

or:
MICIN > VOX1 / VOXLO / VOXHI (split)
VOXHI > HI-PASS/EQ > VOXSIDECHAIN
VOX1 > EQ > COMPR > REVERB[VOXSIDECHAIN] > VOXALL 
VOXLO > LO-PASS/EQ > OCTAVER > COMPR > VOXMIX

GUITAR
======
GUITARIN > GUITARQUIET / GUITARLOUD / GUITARSIDECHAIN (split)
GUITARQUIET > COMPR/DUCK[GUITARSIDECHAIN] > guitarfx1 > GUITARMIX
GUITARLOUD > GATE > EQ > guitarfx2 > GUITARMIX

or:
GUITARIN > GUITARQUIET / GUITARLOUD / GUITARSIDECHAIN (split)
GUITARQUIET > GATE/HYSTERESIS > guitarfx1 > GUITARMIX
GUITARLOUD > GATE > guitarfx2 > GUITARMIX

Does this make sense? Better ideas?
Appreciate your feedback and experience
