I have an EHX Deluxe Memory Boy and it has a gain knob that is boost after delay, maybe check that one out.

Audio on one line and power on the other. It works great.
If this is really an avenue you want to pursue, you could mount a 1 spot in the amp and build a 5 pin cable, din or xlr(or run a separate 2 wire zip tied to your switch cable).
But that all seems overkill...
Also, 50/50 on that DC coming from the amp being very clean. Possibly just some zener diodes between a DC rail and ground.
My next experiment is going to be running them both on the same line, like true phantom power but, using a combiner box at the amp and break out box on the floor. It will be unbalanced, but as long as there is some power filtering during the break out, I think it should work.
I would advise against that. Issue being that if there is any audio freq noise at all on the power rail, it will end up in your signal path. This is solved in pro audio with the fact that the audio is balanced so any noise is phase canceled.
Also, if your decoupling (DC blocking) ever fails or shorts, you could potentially send DC to your guitar, thus send DC to ground. Also, DC to the input of an amplifier(which *should* have decoupling built in, but still...
I'll defer to Dr. Ian Malcolm:

Maybe this is dumb, but would there be enough room for a lithium battery in the foot switch? Could you use the amp's power to charge it? If so, the battery would make up the difference if you needed more current or just go dead if you over do it.

I'm guessing the big smiling "A" isn't it. I welcome your opinions.
