Controlling guitar stomps

Hello everyone,

I want to know if there is any way to control the guitar stomps plugins in DP8 with a MIDI controller. When I create a MIDI track, I don't see any parameter to control the distortion, delay, chorus... pedals. Therefore, I guess it is impossible but maybe I am missing the point.
I really like the guitar FX included in DP but unfortunately I only have two hands... :)

Thanks for your answers!

I got the DP wah pedal working using the expression pedal for my keyboard. So I guess there must be other stomps that could work that way - although I use DP for recording songs and not for live use. There is very little need for me to switch a stomp on or off during a take - I would just record a separate take.

While it would be nice to have that functionality it isn't essentially part of a DAW. And I wouldn't use DP for live work and guitar sounds. The wah can be used that way and that is necessary - but not necessarily other pedals. So what is essentially your need for this?

Thanks Guitar Gaz for your answer.

Basically, I would like to jam using the guitar plugins and a MIDI controller (footswitch)in order to switch on/off the effects, modulate parameters...
I found infos about the wah pedal in the plugin user guide but nothing about the other effects. That's why I think it is impossible... It realy surprise me cause it seems an essential feature... :)
Nevertheless, I wanted to ask you, DP experts, because I am kind of a beginner at DP.
