Thanks again,

I fixed the problem with the Wah. I programmed it so I can use the 
wah and turn it on/off with the same expression pedal (it's in the 
manual). That cost me two assing parameters. I use the other two for 
the second pedal (reverb on/off and level). And the switch buttons I 
have to use for program-change, because there are no assignments 
left. Slightly different from what I was intended to do but I'm OK 
with it.
I still don't understand why it isn't possible to make control 
changes without using assignment 1-4.
But I'm still learning, and still I think it's a great piece of 
equipment. I still have to test it on stage but I think it will do 
well.
