Ron here's how you can do this.
In pref. make sure the box use unused outputs as sub groups is checked.
Assign your tracks to sub groups and put you effects into the subgroup.They will be labeled "G"
Now when you move the fader with the "A" the effects drive level stays the same. It's still unconventional but may help out. If you move the fader for the subgroup it still affects the effects.
