Mine's a slightly unconventional setup, but I know there are others on the 
list using similar architectures.  I've got an automated effects matrix 
which allows me to change the order of the effects plugged into it.  Some 
of the other guys using Switchblades or other patch bays have the same 
kind 
of flexibility.

My signal chain starts with the computers & synthesizers (most of which 
have internal effects/delay) then is routed to any or all of the 
following: 
Electrix Repeater, Line 6 Echo Pro, Line 6 Filter Pro, and Boss VF-1 (also 
there's an Akai PEQ-7 graphic eq hardwired to certain key points).  The 
signal then passes into my mixer, where there are two effects sends that 
route back into the matrix once again before returning.  Also, the 
Repeater 
has a Korg Kaos Pad dedicated into its effect loop.

So, I guess a chain using the theoretical maximum number of delays might 
look something like this: synth patch using internal echo --> VF-1 --> 
Echo 
Pro --> Repeater (using effect loop to --> Kaos Pad) --> mixer.  That's 
not 
using the mixer/matrix to recurse the signal back through any of the units 
all over again, however.
