Ah, I think I understand. Thanks for the answers!

The pedal is just a pot, a volume control (up/down).

It looks like I'll have to get a PC-200 MKII controller with a pot pedal 
socket. I used to have one but it broke so I got a MK 1 and it's not as 
good. With this I should be able to mess around with the Xpander's 
filter by pedal. :-)
