Austin Buddy Gold Pak and Wah Settings

I just installed the Gold Pak on my FM3 and have Ext 1 and 2 set at 100% in Setup/Midi Remote on the FM3 as instructed in ABs YT video. I have a spring loaded wah. All the presets show the wah on in Fm3 Edit and they are all on when I play. How to make the wahs auto engage with the Gold Pak?

FM3 + HX Effects

Anyone using this combo? Seems like it might be a good way to use the FM3 for modeling and cabs mostly and the HXFX for effects. You would also get 6 additional switches to integrate into the FM3/HXFX rig plus the tap tempo on the HXFX. So 10 useful switches total. I plan on getting an FM3...
