Is this possible?

Use the Control pedal to simultaneously:
Switch Tone
Change PU (COSM)
Turn Delay ON/OFF

Sure - why not.

The GR-55 has Eight possible Control Assignments per patch, and yes you can use the same Control Source for multiple Target Destinations (8 max)

Then add the CTL pedal function (in the GK/Pedal settings) and you have up to 9 control functions (including the 8 assigns) you can operate from the one CTL switch action.

Great!

Can you let me know what I am missing, or point to the page in the manual I should be reading?  I Go to:
Edit
Master
PEDAL/GK CTL
CTL

But then can only select ONE option for the control pedal.

Where else might I assign it?

Suggest re-read GR-55 Tops things to Know as it gets updated frequently

Its rather mandatory all GR-55 owners use Gumtown's GR-55 Floorboard Editor to fully understand and see all GR-55 Control assignments and settings

https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=86

Launch  Gumtown's GR-55 Floorboard Editor, Connect with the GR-55  - and the see the Eight User Control Assignments - in the "Assigns" box in the  upper right :



Click on the Assign "1" button and the following Control Assign #1 Settings box opens and this is how I make my GR-55 Control assignments. Observe the CTRL Pedal can also be used as an Assignment "Source" here too - (this is separate area from the System/Global CTRL Assignment panel), and why Gumtown stated above that its possible for the GR-55 CTRL pedal to control NINE possible Targets per patch.



This is a list of ALL available Control sources for the  GR-55:
(Observe  that not all MIDI CC# (1 thru 128) are available)
You may create Eight Total Control Assign Sources from the possible controllers in this list.

Big thumbs up and THANKS everyone.  Really helpful.

I'm beginning to get my head around this design.  I think it's not the best layout, but the floorboard really helps make things accessible.  I now have a crazy multi strat and LP!  I can switch PUs, gain settings, amp settings, OD, wah and delays - All on one patch!  When I get them tweaked, I'll share.  This is exciting stuff!
