Just bought a gr55 and a roland strat. I was wondering if it's possible to to use the expression pedal to move back and forth between say acoustic guitar  patch and string patch . So i can fade out the strings when i want or fade them in and blend with the guittar .  Can the exp pedal be assigned like that? Thank you

GR-55 - Use all four GR-55 tone sources mixed via Expression Pedal position

Toby Krebs posted dozens of GR-55 patches he uses at his gig. Each patch uses Multiple Control Assignments for the Expression pedal to allow you to "pan" between rhythm and solo tones withing each patch  - this allow you to use One GR-55 patch per song and circumvent the long mute silence gap that occurs when changing GR-55 patches during a song.

Yes.
You can cross fade between different tone sources, such as acoustic modelling and a strings PCM synth tone.
