Question About Ecasound for Audio Effects

So I'm helping with a project dealing with triggering real time audio effects using a Raspberry Pi. I've looked around, and found a few that did the effects I was looking for. During this search I came across Ecasound, and it sounds the most promising. Reading the manual about interactive mode seems like what I want, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm trying to figure out, is it possible to set up a chain with different effects. Creating a pedal board that loops a audio source turning off and on effects in real time?

If Ecasound isn't suited for this, what would be a better alternative? Thank you for taking time to read this post.
