To control many parameters using one pedal, "Remote control" approach can be tricky. In Sonar it is basic and bound to one particular parameter, you need to re-map it every time in Sonar (not forgetting to unmap it from current parameter) or map to different MIDI events in Midi-OX. Still, some natural mappings, like "the volume of current track" and simply not exist. Control Surface approach is more flexible in that respect.
It's a bit of a hassle to set up for each purpose, true, but works wor me (at least for now). I don't think I need to control many parameters at once. I wanted to use the pedal wah and then for a setup where I can cross-fade between two entirely different sounding guitar amp setups. I'll need to take a look at the Control Surface thing; all this MIDI stuff in Sonar is still a bit new to me.
Thanks again for all who responded,
