You may need to adjust the minimum threshold for your
system. Now that we are fairly familiar with these assigns,
it's fairly obvious that with the expression pedal forward a
very tight noise suppression is used which will cut any noise
or ambience from the guitar, giving the patch its
characteristic punch-in punch-out when played with chords.
Coming back on the pedal reduces the threshold, and
increases the release time, thus allowing the guitar to breath
in a more natural manner.
Control Assigns using the Internal
Pedal
There are two uses that immediately pop into mind for this;
fade in and fade out. These are best illustrated by examining
the preset patches that are interesting as they each combine
4 control assigns to produce the effect.
FADE IN
Although this is a GT-3 supplied patch it is equally
applicable to the GT-5. Let's take a look at the
assignments that have been used in creating this
patch:

As you can see not only does it fade in the volume,
but it starts off with lots of delay, reverb, and
reduced treble; so low volumes echo around and
sound spacey. As the fade in becomes more
prominent the treble is brought all the way up, the
delay is reduced as is the reverb. To kick it off
again, all you need to do is press the patch number
for a second time.
FADE OUT
This patch is very much the opposite of fade in,
except that rather than being triggered on patch
change, they are triggered when the CTL pedal is
pressed.
Just as the fade in reduces delay and reverb, and
increases the preamp treble the, 'Fade Out' patch
reverses these and increases delay and reverb as
the sound fades whilst reducing preamp treble.
What is interesting here is the fade out on the FV is
performed using a fast rise curve. This effectively
produces a fast drop curve due to the FV level
reducing. Which is exactly the opposite of a slow
rise curve.
One of the possible aspects of the internal pedal is to use it
as a timing device. Although limited in this respect one
good example of this is discussed in section 11 that takes a
look at 'Automatic Manual Mode'.
Control Assigns using the Wave
Pedal
You have a GT-3 and are already using the SFX group but
want tremolo as well? Or you have a GT-3/5 and want
tremolo and pan together? Well here the wave pedal can
