You have to look at it as a general fx box. The only way to have multiple pieces of gear all route to one effect is to use a mixer with an effect send and return (or aux) so you can route channels to the effect as needed. The other way is to physically re-plug the cables as you need to use it. This can be easier with a patchbay or if your mixer has insert plugs.
