I made a rackspace according to your description, but i used an additional row of knobs to work as “initial values”. So you always are able to not only get back to how it was, but also to see the initial values vizualized.
Turning an intitial-knob will set the (blue) knob accordingly, while turning a blue knob won’t affect the initial value. The blue knob will then “jump” back to the initial-controlled value when the boss-knob is moved again, so better not touch the blue ones! (Maybe it would be better to shrink those).
Turning the red “Boss-Knob” will then adjust the nine other knobs by half of their initial value up or down (if possible). Doubleclicking the knob will bring it back to 50%
The Boss-knob should be MIDI-learned to your pedeal, while the blue knobs should be parameter-learned to the plugin(s).
