I'll recommend an FCB1010 too. It's what I use.

I also have an A/B pedal that can be switched via the FCB's amp switching capabilities and use it to bring different wireless systems in and out so I can switch between my guitar's dual jacks (piezo and magnetic) with my feet while simultaneously changing midi programs on my 2101. In this way I can do a single pedal press to seamlessly switch from distorted to acoustic sounds.

If you are just trying to bring a distortion pedal that is always on in and out of the signal chain you can use the 2101's effects loop for that, with some minor configuration changes to the programs using it. I do this with a flanger pedal with decent results.

What you need is a Midi Switcher, suggest you do do a search on Musicians Friend or Sam Ash site for more info. Typical Midi Switchers can control several devices and can be pricey. Since you only need to control one pedal, you may want to consider replacing the foot controller with a Behringer FCB 1010 which has this option already integrated into it (and is fairly low cost). Unfortunately you will need to acquaint yourself with MIDI to be able to set everything up. Speaking from experience it can be frustrating because of poorly written manuals, but not impossible (thanks to google :) )

I already stated that I don't know if such an interface even exists. I've read through the manual, but I don't fully understand MIDI itself yet, so the manual kinda goes over my head.

Figured I'd ask here if anyone's done this yet, but I guess that was wrong?
