Flangers?

Noticed when searching for flangers that AX8 doesn't have Electric Mystery, or others I've seen mentioned. Mine is up to date firmware, do we not have all the flangers that AX3 FM9 have? Thanks for help

What type of pedal do I need to operate volume and wah without scenes please. Only three brands ever mentioned. Do I just need a pedal with a footswitch? Many thanks for any advice
