For controlling multiple effects with one knob, maybe using the sends can allow you to affect multiple effects mix at the same time, if you can adjust the send mix with the q link

Another BIG limitation is that, as of 2.10, q-link and midi mappings made to effects on submixes and return tracks won't get saved in the project file. Meaning you will have to redo all your mappings every time you load the project. No idea why this is. Still works in 2.9 though.
