Too much to switch........

OK. I am building a custom wah pedal and I want to add a Easyvibe to the whole signal path in which I can control the Rate with the wah / rocker pedal. In that case, I need to switch 5 things:
- 1 and 2: in and out
- 3 t o 5: the three poles of the potmeter.

I have searched around and I can only find switches up to four switchings at the time.....

What now to do??

I've read a bit upon FET switching; could this solve it?

check if one of the three potmeter poles is connected to ground in both effects (there is a chance..)
you can maybe only switch in OR out. if you only switch out you can use a splitter like the splitter blend in the front of both effects.

you could also use one spst on the coils of some relays

oh and i've got rotary switches in my pile-o-junk that have up to seven switches.
