who wants to partner up and build an iPhone app that does this? [edit] - I was half kidding before, but I looked into it and well, I think it is a great idea.

  It is more complicated, you will need a hardware connection which I think is a different licensing world. Perhaps you can pull it off through the headphone port without extra licensing since both audio in and out are there and a switch. Beyond that, I think it's a great idea. For anything other than a single function pedal, the user interface becomes a tedious nightmare. With an iPhone you have room and flexibility to make a nice user interface. Plenty of horsepower in the phone, but you'd probably run the battery down in a few hours at full processing, so you'd have to plan on power. I would envision the iPhone up on a stand or amp where you can see it and a floor box with the audio interface and a stomp button (in place of the headphone clicker button).

    I like the idea of a stand-alone stomp box i/o port. This might make an interesting practice amp, too. Much like the Line-6 GuitarPort. I think the idea would be get the software started then license it to a Line6 or M-Audio. I wonder what the iPhone's mic preamp sounds like.
