RE: DL4 modification...

I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's just a matter of shorting the
right 2 connections. If you unscrew the back plate of the Line6 gear
it's pretty obvious where the stomp switches are soldered to the board,
then it's just a matter of identifying which 2 need to be shorted in
order to activate the pedal.
The expression pedal was a bit different. The solder connections are
obvious, but the resistance isn't the same from the board as it is from
the pedal alone. So instead I ran my pair of wire for the expression
pedal out through the hole in the casing -- there's enough space -- and
soldered a 90 degree 1/4 jack to them. This jack is always plugged in,
so the wires will suffer only minimum wear.

And you still shouldn't trust my Electrical Engineering skills. I'm
competent at installing guitar pickups -- and now momentary switches....
;^) Although my next project involves ripping apart an old PC keyboard
and mouse as the ultimate midi foot controller.....
